Third World Military Expenditure: Determinants and Implications (History and Politics in the 20th Century: Bloomsbury Academic)

"The twin objectives of this book are to identity the determinants and to explore the implications of Third World military expenditure. Beginning with a descriptive profile of Third World military expenditure, the study uses cross-national and longitudinal data to explore the determinants and implications across a range of issues areas. On the basis of this analysis, the book concludes with an empirical theory of military expenditure and a critical appraisal of the general implications."--Bloomsbury Publishing.
