Abstract

The political will for disarmament for development has not always been there. The political will to disarm for development has not always been there, but it has resurfaced in UN circles, and numerous econometric and modelling studies have been undertaken to assess the effects of such peaceful action on the economies of developed and developing countries. Military spending has contrasting and unstable effects on the national economies of arms producers, and disarmament can lead to the partial obsolescence of the capital of the military-industrial complex and foster a sectoral and regional crisis. Moreover, the increase in development aid resulting from this operation can only aggravate this situation. For developing countries, the effects seem clearly more positive, provided that unstable political regimes are not dragged into civil or military wars. Achieving disarmament for development is politically or economically complex. It is a difficult gamble. It is probably necessary to keep this policy as a backdrop for a world that would like to experience an era of peace.
