Abstract: Abstract One problem in the negotiation and verification of any possible international agreement on the reduction of military expenditure is the difficulty of determining common definitions and methods of evaluation and comparison. Various alternative methods of comparison are discussed and the work of a United Nations group dealing with these matters, including particularly the purchasing power parity method, is reviewed. It is concluded that, given political will and reasonable availability of adequate and relevant information, the construction of useful instruments for international and intertemporal comparison of military expenditure is feasible.
