The Human Development Reports published between 2000 and 2005 and the construction of a public agenda on military expenditures
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Human Development Reports (HDRs) are documents that systematize a large number of diagnoses, prescriptions and proposals directed mainly to governments, states and general political leaders (including those of the organized civil society). The object of this research is the prescriptions, contained in the HDRs, of actions and procedures to expand the financing sources of policies that lead to human development. Among the many suggestions are those aimed at the containment of military expenditures and the increase of the chances of forming funds in poor countries in order to finance human development policies. Because it is a documentary research, the HDRs are the main material of this analysis targeted to verify, through their narratives and arguments, how authors build different ways to convince various sectors, groups and social segments of the need to find financing sources of policies that could lead to human development.
