Notes

1. Patrick Clawson, Unaffordable Ambitions: Syria's Military Build-up and Economic Crisis (Washington: Washington Institute for Near East Policy, 1989).

2. The basic case that military spending helps development is Emil Benoit, "Growth and Defense Spending in Developing Countries," Economic Development and Cultural Change, Vol. 26, 1978. The basic response is Sadet Deger, Military Expenditure in Third World Countries (London: Routledge, Kegan and Paul, 1986).

3. Clawson, Unaffordable Ambitions.

4. Victory Lavy and Eliezer Sheffer, Foreign Aid and Economic Development in the Middle East (New York: Praeger, 1991), pp. 5 and 145.

5. Khaled Sherif (of American University in Cairo and the World Bank), presentation at the Carter Center conference, "Economic Development in the Middle East," November 29, 1990.

6. A case made strongly by Lavy and Sheffer, Foreign Aid.

7. World Development Report 1991, p. 48. That page is devoted to a debate about whether aid has a positive or negative effect on growth. Interestingly, the main arguments for aid refer to financing of specific projects, not of policy reforms.

8. At a seminar held by the Israel International Institute, quoted in The Financial Times, June 27, 1989.

9. World Bank, World Development Report 1991. To be fair however, the world total is low because China and India receive aid equal to $2.00 and $2.30 per capita respectively. The world average without China and India is $14.40 per capita.
