 | | Peace might therefore be expected to generate a dividend which both the government and the private sector can spend. | | | Once confidence in a secure environment is restored there is a delayed peace dividend as private capital is repatriated and `social capital' is rebuilt. | | | Post-war governments should therefore focus not upon how to spend an illusory early dividend, but on how to restore private confidence. |

| | Peace Dividend, Development and the Distributional Problem in Sri Lanka by N. Shanmugaratnam 13 April 2003 |
| | Peace dividend in the sense of savings on military spending and their impact on growth may take a long time to be produced in Sri Lanka, and it is not easy to predict at this point how big the savings are likely to be, when they come. | | | It may be recalled that this conception of peace dividend gained wide currency in the post-cold war era when expectations were raised that the USA and its Western allies would reduce military spending quite dramatically and the savings would be invested in non-military sectors and social development. | | | In mainstream analytical literature, ëpeace dividendí is generally interpreted rather narrowly in terms of the impact of cuts in military spending on economic growth performance. |

| | Peace dividend - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The peace dividend is a political slogan purporting to describe the economic benefit of a decrease in defense spending. | | | The concept of a "peace dividend" assumes that the budget for defense spending will be at least partially redirected to social programs and/or economic growth. | | | The term was frequently used at the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s, when many Western nations significantly cut military spending. |

| | Where's the Peace Dividend? |
| | As the future of America's post-Cold War peace dividend dims under the current Congress, it is important to understand how much money was freed up by the cuts we have managed to make in the defense budget, and where that money has gone. | | | Another distinct peace dividend has been created during the first half of the 1990s by the funding of conversion and environmental programs through defense agency budgets. | | | Indeed, both administrations touted this modest peace dividend in their annual budget documents. |
