Although these developments do not constitute an arms race, they nevertheless have important implications for suppliers of defense equipment, for arms control and for regional stability. This paper assesses trends in the defense spending of East Asian states, particularly in the light of the economic crisis, which began in mid-1997. It also focuses on three closely-related issues: the nature of the regional market for defense equipment; defense industrialization; and the effect of trends in defense procurement and industrialization on East Asian states' military capabilities, and on the regional military balance. |
