Abstract: The economic conversion of the military sector was provoked both by the end of the arms race between the United States and the USSR, but also by the need to produce new weapons required by new military strategies. Disarmament is analysed as a factor of development, but there are several forms of disarmament with different spatial and temporal effects on national economies. It has a cost, concerning the conversion or existence of obsolete material capital. In some cases, disarmament can be a factor of industrial crisis and it is then necessary to manage it carefully, particularly in terms of R&D. The new international order is no longer about disarmament, but rather about the search for new military strategies, connected to the power of national economies.
