For most societies since the ancient civilizations, military exertions and the means by which to finance them have been the crucial issues of governance. Even for the Roman Empire, military spending was the largest item of public spending throughout its history. <br\>
Since that time and especially in the 20th century, the size and spending of governments have increased. Even though the growth in welfare spending did somewhat abate in the early 1990s, it has been increasing again ever since. It is also unlikely that military spending will be displaced as a major spending item in national budgets. Various international threats and the lack of international cooperation will ensure that military spending will remain the main contender to social expenditures

Inhibitors:

  • European Union: The EU has had an almost flat trend in military spending over the past 10-year period.
  • Major reduction in inter-state conflict
  • Deals between the countries to limit the military spending

Paradigms:

There is a large gap between what countries are prepared to allocate for military means to provide security and maintain their global and regional power status, on the one hand, and to alleviate poverty and promote economic development, on the other. Even at a time when a deep economic recession is causing much turbulence in the civilian world … defense giants are enjoying a reliable and growing revenue stream from countries eager to increase their military might. In fact many countries have not cut military spending despite the crisis.
