Author

  • Jan, Chiou-Guey

Abstract

This paper discusses some of the largest arms importers, assesses the investment efficiency of military expenditures to enhance militarily critical technologies, then applies a systems approach to analyze myths that attempt to explain investment efficiencies that ultimately fail to materialize. The author also makes policy suggestions for developing defense technologies in Taiwan.
