Allocating the U.S. Department of Defense Budget: Revisiting the ‘Incremental/Fair Share Model’ / Seki, Hiroyuki   Journal Article
Seki, Hiroyuki Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article examines the ‘incremental/fair share model’ that was proposed by Alex Mintz in 1988 concerning the budget allocation of the U.S. Department of Defense. Although Mintz was unable to confirm the correctness of his model, this study demonstrated it to be statistically significant. In the statistical analyses, I used the two-stage least squares method and Durbin’s h-test to better scrutinize the model’s adequacy. Few previous studies have addressed the allocation of the U.S. defence budget; consequently, the incremental/fair-share model should constitute a starting point for further research on the U.S. defence budget allocation.

Ambitious incrementalism: enhancing BWC implementation in the absence of a verification protocol / Sims, Nicholas A; Littlewood, Jez   Journal Article
Littlewood, Jez Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) has continued along a path of slow evolution since the 2001 collapse of negotiations for a verification protocol for the treaty. Over the last ten years, two intersessional programs of work, along with the Sixth BWC Review Conference, have resulted in the establishment of practices and institutions that strengthen treaty implementation mechanisms. In addition, developments external to the BWC-such as the revitalization of the UN secretary-general's investigation mechanism-have increased the range of mechanisms available to states to address challenges posed by biological weapons. The authors argue that incremental enhancements to the BWC offer the best route forward for the treaty and for the wider biological weapons prohibition regime. The authors identify short-, medium-, and longer-term proposals for such enhancements.
