Until recently, a long-standing, impressively large, and growing literature on the effects of military expenditure on economic growth appeared to have failed to result in a scholarly consensus. But the availability of 20 more years of data since the thawing of the cold war has helped researchers to make progress in identifying any relation of military expenditure with economic factors. The literature is complex and difficult to summarize, with studies differing in their theoretical approach, in the empirical methods used, in the coverage of countries and time periods employed, and in their quality and statistical significance. This article extends and updates an earlier survey, now covering almost 170 studies. It finds that more recent studies provide stronger evidence of a negative effect of military expenditure on economic growth.

ABSTRACT This piece introduces the new journal. This issue 'Conflict or Development?' has a 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 Bruck 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."

Arms races - enduring rivalries between pairs of hostile powers, which prompt competitive acquisition of military capability - appear to be a pervasive phenomenon. From the past Cold War competition, between the US and the USSR, to present regional antagonisms, such as India and Pakistan, arms races remain a matter of continuing concern. This chapter reviews the econometric issues involved

RESUMEN: Este ensayo analiza los aspectos macroeconómicos de la violencia. Va mas allá del enfoque usual sobre la guerra para argumentar sobre la importancia económica de todas las formas y aspectos de violencia armada y no armada. La violencia hace referencia a actos de daño autoinflingido, violencia interpersonal y violencia colectiva. La violencia autoinflingida incluye suicidio; la violencia interpersonal incluye tanto violencia criminal organizada como violencia doméstica y en el lugar de trabajo, y la violencia colectiva generalmente hace referencia a estados u otro tipo de entidades políticas que se encuentran en conflicto violento interno o externo o en riesgo de padecerlo, así como a aquellas que se encuentran en una difícil situación de inseguridad de postguerra o han sido asoladas por una extensiva violencia criminal. Estos diversos aspectos de la violencia han sido estudiados en el pasado por diferentes disciplinas académicas, en un proceso en el cual la ciencia política...
