Summary/Abstract |
On March 1, 2013, the U.S. Department of Defense lost $37 billion overnight to sequestration. The cut marked the first wave of a series of planned cutbacks that will shrink future budgets across the federal government by about $1 trillion over nine years. The reductions had been set in motion back in 2011, when a special "super committee" established by the Budget Control Act (BCA) failed to reach a deficit-reduction agreement, triggering automatic cuts designed to punish both parties. Unlike other budget cuts, sequestration is implemented across the board, taking the same percentage bite out of every account. Except for the decision to spare the military personnel account that provides the pay for the United States' men and women in uniform, defense leaders had no choice about where to take the 2013 cuts. And so, with just seven months left in the fiscal year, sequestration abruptly erased about eight percent of the the Pentagon's budget for the year.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper provides a methodology for estimating the economic impact of defence spending at a sub-regional level. It does so by calculating the income and employment generated by Britain's Royal Navy and associated defence activities in the City of Portsmouth and its surrounding area, during the financial year 2003-2004. In an era of military consolidation, the paper offers an insight into the multifaceted impact of defence-related expenditure. Hence, it presents a generic framework that could prove useful to other researchers when seeking to measure the sub-regional impact of naval, airforce and army facilities in other national contexts

A low-cost/high-capability undersea weapon would assure open sea lines and put foes on notice. The technology is available. Why wait?

Summary/Abstract |
Chairman, Saab India Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Lars-Olof Lindgren's first year in the new job has been exciting albeit a bit slow. But an old India hand (he was Swedish ambassador to India for five years from 2007-2012), Lindgren understands that in India lack of speed is not such a bad thing. On the contrary, it may even be a good thing as it gives time for repeated confabulations and, who know, reconsiderations

Summary/Abstract |
The question is not whether Britain is a great power, but whether it does what great powers do. In the absence of wider changes, Britain will continue to play this role. 'What is Britain's role in the world?' Answering this question is a vital step in a successful review of British security and defence provision. The conclusions of the latest chapter of this review process will be published in 2015, in an update to the 2010 Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR), which was itself the first for 12 years. The 2010 SDSR declared that 'any strategy for our national security must begin with the role we want to play in the modern world.' As Liberal Democrat Member of Parliament Menzies Campbell put it, 'the central question is: what role do we want Britain to play, and how much, as a nation, are we prepared to pay?' Defence reviews are thus about more than how many guns, ships and aircraft the armed forces will have at their disposal; they are concerned with thinking holistically about Britain's place in the world.

Summary/Abstract |
Nations and their citizens now demand clear evidence as to the benefits of defence spending. The opportunity cost of defence expenditure against other sectors is constantly queried. It is economically challenging to find consensus amongst traditional economists, and policy-makers, on how to measure value in the context of defence. This article offers solutions by using the case study of Malaysia. Primary data sources include open-ended and semi structured interviews to produce a thematic discussion, as well as secondary resources. The author argues that it is hard to appraise defence value, as measurements are case-specific. Rather, the paper will use a novel ‘Triple-Defence Value Framework’, to argue that value can be measured by dividing the role of defence into a primary level: for protection and safety; a secondary level: for socio-economic prosperity; and a tertiary level: for soft power projection. The paper concludes by using the framework to measure the value derived from the Malaysian defence sector.
