TROOP STATIONING IN GERMANY: VALUE AND COST,

Abstract

An analysis is made of the political and economic aspects of troop stationing in West Germany (FRG), as practiced by the U.S., U.K., and France. To neutralize or offset their balance of payments deficits and alleviate international monetary crises, the U.S. and U.K. have drawn the FRG into various agreements to purchase arms or other imports, and more recently to extend bank credit through securities purchases. The document considers future troop stationing policy, budgetary factors, and balance of payments neutralization. (Author)
