Abstract

The analysis of the impact of military spending on the growth of developing countries has not always been at the center of economists' reflections, until a study by Emile Benoit in 1978 suggested a rather positive link between military spending and economic development. The military effort would promote industrial modernization, the training of men, the development of infrastructure, the sense of order and the desire for independence. The methodology of this analysis, based on correlations, has been challenged. Other studies, more numerous, including some. These studies, conducted under the auspices of the United Nations, have led to results that are often diametrically opposed, depending on the size and level of development of the countries concerned. However, disarmament that neglects national security is also likely to produce effects of domination and conflict that are harmful to the development of the poorest countries.
