Abstract: Economic development is sustainable when it improves the living conditions of everyone without jeopardising the development potential of future generations. In this context, the security of people and nations is an essential component of sustainable development. This security is obviously not limited to the military sector alone, especially since the question arises as to whether investment in national defence does not sometimes constitute a brake on sustainable development, the famous choice between butter and butter. Furthermore, a disarmament procedure does not immediately lead to a peace dividend, as the cost of obsolescence of military capital is high and poses economic problems for the personnel and regions concerned. Finally, 'sustainable' development is necessarily peaceful, which also implies a reduction in social and international inequalities.
