The strategy of support‐led security is examined, reflected in the experiences of some selected countries, in particular, Sri Lanka, Chile, and Costa Rica. This strategy is distinguished by the use of public support (such as public health services, educational facilities, food subsides) to raise the standard of living without waiting for the country in question to achieve prosperity through sustained economic growth.
