Abstract: There is no clear definition of military expenditure and international comparisons cannot use exchange rates to understand comparative trends in the defence effort of states. Publications by USACDA, SIPRI or IISS highlight the importance of differences in estimates. The studies commissioned by the UN to initiate disarmament for development have highlighted the differences in the presentation of states' military and national defence budgets. Furthermore, it is also important to analyse the structural evolution of military expenditure, between capital and operating expenditure, budget allocations between the different forces (navy, land, air, etc.), the importance of nuclear versus conventional weapons for the superpowers, etc. Finally, the question of arms transfers (size, alliances, nature of the weapons, payment methods, etc.) is also raised.

Keywords: USACDA; SIPRI; military expenditure; military expenditure comparisons; arms exports; nuclear weapons expenditure; dépenses militaires; comparaisons des dépenses militaires; exportations d’armes; dépenses de l’arme nucléaire (search for similar items in EconPapers)
