ECAAR Review is a new anthology, to be published annually, on the economics of
war, conflict, and peace. In its pages some of the leading economists of the day
will analyze and reflect on the relationships among military spending, domestic
and foreign policy, security, and human welfare. Each year will feature a different
topic and will include sections on business and conflict and "Trends in World
Military Expenditure." Written in clear English, with informative maps, tables,
and graphs, the series is designed to inform the debate among policymakers, activists,
journalists, academics, students, and citizens worldwide. The
2003 edition, "Conflict or Development?" has a further regional focus
on Africa. Joseph Stiglitz discusses the role of information in conflict and draws
a fascinating analogy between civil strife and a labor strike. Paul Collier and
Neil Cooper take different positions on the prospects for reforming war economies,
and E. Wayne Nafziger gives details of the evolution of humanitarian emergencies.
In the two country studies, Tilman Brück examines the destruction and reconstruction
of Mozambique, and Manuel Ferreira discusses the civil war in Angola. Paul Dunne
tells the story of South Africa's defense contractor Denel from its origins under
apartheid until today, and David Gold describes the context and history of the
current actions against "Conflict Diamonds." In the chapter on "Trends
in World Military Expenditure," Jurgen Brauer reflects on the weight imposed
by the world's military burden. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
