Abstract

While the idea of disarmament for development is not new, economists, who have always questioned the cost of defence and its inevitable slide into war, have never favoured it. For the neoclassic analyse, the market economy leads inexorably to peace, unless political considerations are developed. For Marxists and socialists, on the other hand, capitalism carries within it conflicts, especially class or imperialist ones. In the case of colonialism or military domination over another country, war can be considered a factor of development if political independence can be recognized, even by force. The German historical school even considers war in general as a factor of economic revolution, because military needs have played a predominant role in the phenomenon of industrial concentration and economic development. Moreover, the economy can itself be a weapon. Finally, few economists have focused on disarmament for development.
