Download or read book Disarmament Economic Conversion and Management of Peace written by Manas Chatterji and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1992-03-23 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important volume tackles the potential problems of international military disarmament. Distinguished scholars across several disciplines discuss possible negative economic and social consequences, including unemployment, conversion costs, and the related hampered growth of research and development, associated with the conversion from a military industrial economy to a civilian complex. The authors present techniques for managing sectoral and regional economic imbalances and conclude that disarmament would ultimately release resources for foreign aid to close the gap between the world's haves and have-nots. Divided into three parts (Models of Disarmament and Conflict Analysis, Economic Conversion, and Management of Peace), this volume addresses specific topics such as techniques of management conflict, factors affecting military expenditures, new prospects for an East-West relationship, American strategic policy and NATO, defense expenditure and economic conversion, Third World arms production, and regional conflict in the wake of superpower convergence. These analyses and discussions will be of particular interest to scholars of Peace Studies, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, and Military Studies.

Download or read book Economics of Arms Reduction and the Peace Process written by W. Isard and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of peace economics and its ramifications are comprehensively and deeply attacked in this book. First of all the book presents a compact survey of significant contributions already made, and then it provides a broad theoretical background for examining the subject by evaluating four different approaches, those of 1) neoclassical welfare theory, 2) Keynesian and modern versions of macroeconomics, 3) modern growth theory and 4) political choice theory. A number of contributions deal with major questions on issues such as the impact of military cutbacks in the Eastern European economies upon their growth; trade between nations; arms trade; nuclear defense; and the benefits and costs of war as highlighted by the recent Gulf War. Issues of a more general nature but equally significant are also discussed, including the age-old negotiations problem of two mature political leaders of major powers in conflict; the determinants of military expenditures; and the problems of developing countries. In the last chapter the findings of the studies reported in the book are summarized and key directions for further research are identified. This book is indispensable for any economist or analyst conducting research on peace economics and the peace process or concerned with the impacts of recent arms reduction and conversion by the major powers and the escalation of military expenditures elsewhere.

Download or read book Economic Issues of Disarmament written by Jurgen Brauer and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the cold war the superpower arms race generated an enormous amount of economic activity. Weapons manufacturing became a boom industry, responsible for the creation of thousands of new jobs and a significant portion of global economic growth. The end of the cold war has had a powerfully negative effect on the arms industry, resulting in the wholescale cancellation of defence contracts and necessitating a fundamental reorganization of the industry. This timely volume addresses the global economic effects of this development. With an introduction by Nobel Laureate Kenneth Arrow, the work examines such issues as the effect of economic conversion on the military economy; NATO and Warsaw Pact mutual disarmament; the ramifications of "global peace" or global business; military spending, disarmament and the Third World; the "peace dividend"; the environmental effects of disarmament; the impact of military spending on global health and health care; and a wide range of other pertinent and pressing issues.
