Military Expenditure and Development

Abstract

Although political conflict and war are as old as humanity itself, in the twentieth century, it peaked. In recent years, most of the conflicts were intrastate conflict rather than interstate conflict. A new element of terrorism has been associated with the conflict. These conflicts are not only resulting from internal political disturbances, it is also intermingled with ethnicity, resources, migration, and above all extreme poverty.
