Are we in the middle of an escalating global arms race? | Inside Story

Описание: Global military spending reached its all-time highest level last year. More NATO countries than ever before spent two percent of their GDP on defence. China recorded 30 unbroken years of increased military spending, the longest streak of any country in modern history.

That's all in response to a world that's seen as becoming less safe.

Generations have grown up around the world in an era of arms control - so is that at an end?
And what's at stake when the world's richest countries are engaged in a game of brinksmanship?

Presenter: Neave Barker

Guests:
Michael Boyle - Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University–Camden and author of The Drone Age.

Elijah Magnier - Senior Political Risk Analyst and a regional military expert.

Fabrice Pothier - former Head of Policy Planning at NATO and a senior defence and strategy analyst.
