Financial Constraints on Potential Latin American Arms Producers
Abstract
Despite the heated debate over the guns vs. butter
issue, remarkably little empirical attention has been
given to the socio-economic sources of national military-industrial
capabilities. The boom in the growth of
arms industries began in the 1960s. By the end of that
decade, a total of 27 third-world countries produced
some equipment for their armed forces, usually small
arms and ammunition (Evans 1986, p. 99).
