Description
Summary:This article traces the progression of the most recent cycle of world military spending (1989-2010), highlighting both economic and industrial phenomena that made it distinct. It also examines the current period, in which there is a sustained military investment process on an international scale, a trend that could well put an end to the cyclical profile defence spending has shown since the end of World War 2. Beyond this issue, the text provides an update on a number of subjects essential to a better understanding of the current defence economy such as the adoption of a new security paradigm, the evolution of military technology that occurred with it, and the defence industry transformation that was a consequence of it.
