Summary
Provide its security against internal and external threats. Governments arrange the share they separate for defense spending by taking the welfare of their country into consideration. If they feel a threat, they decrease the investments which will increase the welfare of the country and increase defense spending. Many countries separate more share to defense spending compared to education, health and infrastructure expenditures. In scope of international relations and from the point of view of European Union and France, Mediterranean region has a strategic importance. Security gap in many Arab countries constitutes a threat for all Mediterranean and Southern Europe. It is important to examine the defense spending of Mediterranean countries and the effects of these expenditures on their economies
