  • Military expenditures and military transformation [Elektronski vir]
    Kopač, Erik
    Military transformation means adapting armed forces to the new security environment in order to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. Each transformation can be implemented in many different ... ways, but there are only some that are desired and politically, financially and technically feasible. Military transformation, which must be carried out in accordance with the countryʼs capabilities, is due to the requirements to change the military capabilities very expensive in the short and medium term. Consequently this is reflected in higher level of military expenditures. At the same time military transformation also leads to a reallocation of resources within the armed forces, as military expenditures through the appropriate allocation of resources are also a means to achieve the planned military capabilities. Our analysis of the impact of military expenditures on military transformation andvice versa includes 36 countries (NATO, four European neutral and BRIC countries). As the military transformation is in its essence a dynamic and continuous process, our quantitative analysis included different data on military expenditures and military transformation for the period from 1992 to 2010. Additionally, quality assessment of the impact of military expenditures spending on military transformation and vice versa was measured by a questionnaire in which the experts responsible for military transformation in those countries, answered. The obtained results showed that there is a statistically significant relationship, both in terms of the impact of military expenditures on military transformation, as well as in terms of the impact of military transformation on military expenditures.
