The Political Economy of Defence PDF
Preview The Political Economy of Defence
The Political Economy of Defence Defence is the ultimate public good, and it thus falls to government to determine the appropriate amount of public revenue to commit to the defence of the realm. This will depend on history, strategic threat, international security obligations, entreaties from allies and, of course, the threat faced. The Political Economy of Defence is structured to identify, explain and analyse the policy, process and problems that government faces from the starting point of national security through to the ultimate objective of securing a peaceful world. Accordingly, it providesinsightsintohowdefencebudgetsaredeterminedandmanaged, offeringrelevantandrefreshinglypracticalpolicyperspectivesondefence finance, defence and development trade-offs, sovereignty versus globalisation debates, and many other pertinent issues. It will appeal to policymakers, analysts, graduate students and academics interested in defenceeconomics,politicaleconomy,publiceconomicsandpublicpolicy. ron matthews is Professor of Defence Economics at Cranfield University.
