Description
The end of the Cold War has had a powerfully negative effect on the arms industry, resulting in the wholescale cancellation of defence contracts and necessitating a fundamental reorganization of the industry. This volume addresses the global economic effects of this development looking at such issues as the effect of economic conversion on the military economy, NATO and Warsaw Pact mutual disarmament, the ramifications of "global peace" for global business, military spending, disarmament and the Third World, the "peace dividend", the environmental effects of disarmament, the impact of military spending on global health and health care, and a wide range of other pertinent and pressing issues.
