Trends in Global Military and Civilian Research and Development (R&D) and their Changing Interface

چکیده
Executive Summary Until very recently, global military R&D had been in decline for some time, in terms of overall spending. The main reason was the end of the Cold War, which led to a virtual collapse in the former Soviet Union and substantial reductions in many other countries. This left the United States as the largest spender worldwide by a large margin. Increases in US spending in the late 1990s and early 2000s have further widened the gap to the rest of the world. The US accounted for more than 60 percent of global spending on military r&d of an estimated US $85 bn in 2004.
