Arms build-up and development: linkages in the Third World

Abstract

In this monograph Dr S.D. Muni examines the linkages between arms build-up and development in the Third World. The linkages are very complex and the field of study is both vast and new. These linkages have, therefore, been viewed in this monograph from a broad perspective. The question of the interrelationship between development and armaments is vitally important for peace and security in the world. Though attention has been paid to this factor in the last few years, systematic and rigorous studies have yet to emerge.
