Examining the impact of arms transfers on human development
Article Abstract:
Growing emphasis is being placed on the role of militaries in helping to unite the peace agenda and the development agenda as interstate aggression becomes increasingly less likely. Within this framework, considerable attention is being given to the best way to describe the relationship between arms transfers and development. There is evidence that, in low-income developing countries which import arms, there is a positive connection between arms imports and the level of human development. In contrast, arms imports in middle-income developing countries tend to have a negative impact on human development conditions.
