Abstract
A large descriptive literature of the burden of military
expenditures in developing countries has accumulated over
the last several years. Understandably, the main thrust of
most of this analysis concerns the loss in social welfare
associated with increases in military expenditure per
capita, i.e., that social expenditures in lieu of military
expenditure would have provided more tangible improvements
in the quality of life of large groups of individuals in
developing countries. Without questioning this view, the
analysis below attempts to determine the major factors
underlying military expenditure per capita in developing
countries.
