Peace Dividend FROM THE CRITICS
Booknews
A collection of papers demonstrating how a variety of analytical
approaches can be used to anticipate the economic repercussions of
systematic reductions in military spending. The introduction queries
whether such a dividend is myth or reality. National studies examine
the impact in such countries as the US, Canada, Greece, Turkey,
Denmark, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and South Africa. Among the
cross-national and international studies are considerations of
disarmament in Africa, defense conversion in Argentina and Chile,
military spending cuts and the global economy, and economic aspects
of peacekeeping operations.
