Abstract: The interdependence of economic and military power have previously been discussed in terms of the ability of a dominant power to inflict economic costs on its opponent by requiring it to allocate scarce resources to a competitive arms race. This article turns the question around and asks what patterns of economic development will cause an acceleration of an arms race and increase the danger of war.
