Comparative Studies in Military Institutions.
Abstract
The comparative study of military institutions has hitherto been constrained by the absence of hard data which could serve as the basis of evaluation. In addition, research has been adversely affected by the absence of a universally accepted analytical framework which would facilitate the standardization of this research. These shortcomings can be obviated by the collection of data within the parameters of clearly defined basic data categories. Data is therefore presented in this Report under the two headings of appropriately sub-divided demographic and fiscal categories. These refer to military institutions in: West Germany, Sweden, The Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom and the United STates of America. The presented data is supplemented by computer stored data which can be used for further indepth evaluation on the basis of such techniques as multi-variable factor analysis. Preliminary analysis of this data indicates tentative explanatory and predictive hypotheses. These are investigated further in the Report through supporting papers which utilize selected hypotheses as the basis of comparative evaluation. (Author)
