Abstract

War is not the main concern of today's societies, but it remains a recurrent threat. If armaments are an economic activity, it is also a response to a demand for security, protection and defence. The power of the United States is so pervasive that it leads observers to believe that the world is at peace. However economic development, due the inequalities it causes, is not a factor of peace. In this game of wealth sharing, the great powers are often both the players and the referees, through international organisations. Globalisation profoundly modifies the content of national economies, which are often forced to find a specialization that increases their dependence and a new form of precariousness. World armaments sector was strongly affected by this evolution, but US Industrial military complex, with the development of the information economy, is a strong support to the superpower of United States.
