Chapter 8 Conclusion

Abstract

Despite the poor economic conditions and the low standards of living, the military expenditures in the developing countries continue to rise and pose great burdens on their respective budgets. Thus, the interplay of resources between defense and civilian sectors is crucial to national economic development because unmanaged military expenditures may divert the resources necessary to attain the developmental objectives, especially in countries with scarce resources.
