Countries that spend scarce resources to import arms from abroad
often require arms sellers to 'reinvest' part or all of the
proceeds back into the arms-importing country. These so-called
'arms trade offsets' are therefore thought to enhance domestic
economic development. But does this process actually succeed? This
book examines the theory and policy applications of arms trade
offsets and looks at more than a dozen case studies drawn from
across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The chapters, based
on original research and published here for the first time, are all
written by leading experts. That an impressive, lucid and cohesive
volume such as this will interest defence economists can be taken
almost for granted. The book will also be a useful and enlightening
read for those interested in international development economics,
military studies and policy-makers across the globe.

Although there is often opposition to individual wars, most people
continue to believe that the arms industry is necessary in some
form: to safeguard our security, provide jobs and stimulate the
economy. Not only conservatives, but many progressives and
liberals, support it for these reasons. Indefensible puts forward a
devastating challenge to this conventional wisdom, which has
normalised the existence of the most savage weapons of mass
destruction ever known. It is the essential handbook for those who
want to debunk the arguments of the industry and its supporters:
deploying case studies, statistics and irrefutable evidence to
demonstrate they are fundamentally flawed, both factually and
logically. Far from protecting us, the book shows how the arms
trade undermines our security by fanning the flames of war,
terrorism and global instability. In countering these myths, the
book points to ways in which we can combat the arms trade's
malignant influence, reclaim our democracies and reshape our
economies.
Written for an audience of students, general readers, and
economists alike, this Element is a primer on the field of the
economics of conflict and peace. It offers a reasonably
comprehensive, systematic, and detailed overview - even if in broad
strokes - of the field's orthodox and heterodox history of thought
and current theories and evidence. The authors view this Element as
a baseline account on which to build a future, separate and more
fully developed, work on the economics of peace, economic growth,
and human development. Altogether, the Element contextualizes the
field of conflict and peace economics, outlines its history of
thought, highlights examples of current theoretical and empirical
scholarship in the field, and maps trajectories for further
research.
