He compares the fine line between sufficient and excessive military spending across ten countries and defines regional indicators of genuine security need or ambition. This controversial work will interest agencies and policy analysts involved with international development and official development assistance, and is essential reading for anyone interested in disarmament issues or international risk management. 606 $aHISTORY / Military / Canada$2bisacsh 607 $aDeveloping countries$xArmed Forces$xAppropriations and expenditures 607 $aDeveloping countries$xMilitary policy 615 7$aHISTORY / Military / Canada. 676 $a355.6/22/091724 700 $aMacDonald$b Brian S$01488866 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790442003321 996 $aMilitary spending in developing countries$93709276 997 $aUNINA
