Experiencing many of the world increase in military spending in recent years have not already seen this size increase since the end of the Cold War.

Pacific region and one of the parts of the world, which increased its spending from the military.

There are several factors that help in increasing the proportion of military spending in a country such as the political situation of the country and stability of States and noneconomic factor that enables States to purchase military equipment.

After the economic boom witnessed by the countries of the region not only their economic growth but also sought to increase armament and greater military spending, as has become a competition between the countries of the region to Atagaf at the economic side, but the military, and increased competition in an effort to achieve security and protection of their economies and borders of any possible confrontation in the the future.

This increase in growth of the military help of an internal or external These countries seek to achieve a strong center and up not only the economic level, which increases concern the U.S.

and especially China, the rising pole, where the resort of Technology, China in the Russian assistance in the military field.

The United States supports its ally South Korea in the nuclear program, but at the same time worried about North Korea's nuclear program and regards it as an axis of evil, especially before the events of September 11.

We tried to monitor all of this in the search for the statement that the states of the Pacific region is growing rapidly as it includes a faster development of world economies which leads her to engage in increased military spending.

There is no doubt that there is a significant relationship between spending and the economic side, for example, You can not countries with a weak economy to buy equipment, weapons, where countries in the region have increased their purchases by the military potential that you own.

Also, the increase in spending between countries in the region not because it's growing in their economies, but there is a zonal conflicts such as the South China Sea, which affects the relations of States with each other.

Enter and compete in a circle which goes beyond the economic side to enter the military side.

Although the rate of spending is uneven among the countries of the region depending on varying economic potential among the States, but the competition is in the access to military technology.

And the degree of inequality between the countries of the region governed by the disparity in the economic level of countries and foreign aid for military technology and the availability of sources of purchase of military equipment are all factors that make the level of spending has been uneven between the States of the Pacific region.
