Defence expenditure and development in South Africa

Andre Roux

Development Southern Africa, 1997, vol. 14, issue 4, 531-545

Abstract: This article explores the channels through which defence can either promote or compromise economic development. It reviews the roles of the military as an agent for modernisation in developing societies and as an absorber of scarce resources. The article then examines how the military affected development in South Africa in the past and how it could do so in the future, given the decline in defence expenditure.
