Abstract
The question of Middle East military expenditures is
probably most frequently raised in an international
context, relative to such problems or potential problems
as the Arab-Israeli dispute pr territorial sovereignty
in the Horn of Africa When and if any attention
is given to the domestic significance of military
expenditures, it tends to focus on the general concerns
for the underdeveloped nature of the economies
and social structures of these countries. Since
most developing countries suffer from capital shortages
that hinder rapid economic growth, high levels
of military spending are seen in terms of capital diverted
from civilian investment to armaments- from butter
to guns. (Cummings et al. 1980, 38).
