Ethics, Scientists, Engineers and the Military

  • Chapter
Ethical Engineering for International Development and Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

The chapter discusses the ethical issues arising from military work by scientists and engineers. It includes an overview with some depressing statistics of global military expenditure and its consequences and a presentation of a three-part model of the causes of conflict. The different types of military technology are presented from nuclear weapons to small arms, and the various arms control agreements and the arms trade, including corruption in it, are discussed. Further contributions are a case study of military research in the UK and discussion of the (large negative) impacts of military expenditure on the economy.
