Security and Economy in the Third World
Summary
The feel-good place to buy books
Security and Economy in the Third World by Nicole Ball
Nicole Ball brings the effects of security expenditure to the center of that debate, examining in detail how the potential negative consequences on development outweigh the potential positive effects. Originally published in 1988. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
"[A] major contribution to the widening academic and international debate over the complex relationship between defense and development in the Third World"--Joseph P. Smaldone, Perspective "[A] concentrated investigation of the all-too-often presumed advantages of security spending [for Third World countries]... [The book] challenges conventional theories, and rightly so."--Richard J. Latham, The Journal of Asian Studies
