Military Expenditure and Economic Development in Asia During the 1990s

Abstract: Abstract There is a striking diversity amongst the countries of Asia, more so than in any other region. Compare the wealth of the newly industrialized countries — Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and South Korea — and of Japan with the poverty of Laos and Nepal or compare the immensity of China and India with all other countries. In writing this regional survey, therefore, I have worked largely at the subregional level (South, East, and Southeast Asia), with occasional reference to individual countries.
