Abstract

Analysis of the economic advantages of disarmament has been reduced to the dictum ‘guns or butter’. The majority of economists have determined military expenditure to be unproductive, a burden to be minimized to the greatest extent commensurate with security constraints. Ceteris paribus, a decision to disarm has been seen as being good for the improvement of economic growth. The present disarmament process is highly exceptional. In a situation of economic crisis, discontent grows. It becomes more difficult to run a heavily militarized economy. In this context, there are three different interpretations of disarmament.
