| Summary/Abstract |
This paper identifies and classifies middle power nations through the use of broad political science definitions, the demand for military expenditures models and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita. The latter is used as a simple quantifiable measure of relative and potential military power. The paper also develops and utilizes a threat variable that is applicable to middle power nations. The panel data analysis shows that the middle power nations react to threat variables that proxy global instability utilize foreign aid as a complementary policy tool along with military expenditures, and face significant trade-offs between military and non-military government spending.

| Summary/Abstract |
The aim of this study is to assess the relationship between revenue and expenditure in the ASEAN countries. Using annual data for the period between 1980 and 2012 in ten member states, a long-run relationship between government expenditure and revenue emerges, both in ASEAN-6 and ASEAN-10 countries. Granger causality analysis shows mixed results, even though for five ASEAN countries the predominance of "tax-and-spend" hypothesis exists, given that government revenue drives the expenditure. Moreover, mixture models seem to produce homogeneous groups, considering the socio-economic structure, welfare state, and historical aspects. Finally, convergence measures show interesting results, confirming the sample's heterogeneity.

| Summary/Abstract |
After decades of intergovernmental transfers in India, studies to analyse the impacts of central government transfers on regional growth are inadequate. Even the limited studies that have been done have excluded the northeastern region (NER) from their analysis, except for the state of Assam. This article examines the impact of central government grants on economic growth in northeast India. In addition, we analyse if the growth impact of grants, if any, is uniform across states. Our analysis, based on official secondary data from eight northeastern states for the period 1991 to 2010, shows that per capita real central grant is positively associated with economic growth, but conditional on other variables being held constant. However, the effects of such grants are not uniform across the states. The growth effect of grants is estimated to be highest in Assam and lowest in Mizoram.
