Zusammenfassung:. In 1990-1991, worldwide military expenditure amounted to USD950 billion. This bill could be reduced by the year 2000 by over USD300 billion.. . Excessive military expenditure jeopardizes development prospects. . Policies to achieve transparency and to strengthen military security arrangements should be a priority. .

Donors should consider concerted incentive policies such as defence conditionality in economic aid.
