Overview

First published in 1986, Militarization, Internal Repression and Social Welfare in the Third World argues that there is a relationship between the level of a regime’s military spending and the degree of internal repression it inflicts. This book presents a detailed empirical analysis of this situation and presents the results of more than three dozen researchers who have published comparative or case studies of the substitution effects of military expenditures in socio-economic areas. While the primary concern is with the Third World, the book also analyses the costs to advanced capitalist and to state socialist systems and discusses their role in further militarization. This book will be of interest to students of political science, international relations, colonialism and area studies.
