	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.
		Most economies, in contrast, undergo a recession after the end of a major conflict as the economy is forced to adjust and retool.

	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.
		However, the peace dividend that materialised was not anywhere near the high expectations raised in the euphoric days that marked the end of the cold war.
