Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What explains the variation in how states finance war? Why are some wars financed by high levels of taxation while others are financed solely via borrowing? Under what conditions do states resort to non conventional means of war finance such as coercive savings plans? Using a new dataset of interstate war financing strategy from 1945 to 2001, I argue that five variables explain how states finance wars: optimism by political decision makers regarding the conflict, the experience of war finance in previous wars, the existence of a balance of payments problem, the bureaucratic capacity to extract resources from society and public opinion regarding the conflict. Using both quantitative analysis and illustrative historical examples, my paper shows that there is enormous variation in how states finance wars, an issue with tremendous implications for international politics. This study has implications for helping us understand the dynamics of war, the ability of a state translate domestic resources into military power especially in times of economic constraint, and the relationship between state and society.
Book Synopsis How States Pay for Wars by : Rosella Cappella Zielinski
Download or read book How States Pay for Wars written by Rosella Cappella Zielinski and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-11 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Armies fight battles, states fight wars. To focus solely on armies is to neglect the broader story of victory and defeat. Military power stems from an economic base, and without wealth, soldiers cannot be paid, weapons cannot be procured, and food cannot be bought. War finance is among the most consequential decisions any state makes: how a state finances a war affects not only its success on the battlefield but also its economic stability and its leadership tenure. In How States Pay for Wars, Rosella Cappella Zielinski clarifies several critical dynamics lying at the nexus of financial and military policy.Cappella Zielinski has built a custom database on war funding over the past two centuries, and she combines those data with qualitative analyses of Truman's financing of the Korean War, Johnson’s financing of the Vietnam War, British financing of World War II and the Crimean War, and Russian and Japanese financing of the Russo-Japanese War. She argues that leaders who attempt to maximize their power at home, and state power abroad, are in a constant balancing act as they try to win wars while remaining in office. As a result of political risks, they prefer war finance policies that meet the needs of the war effort within the constraints of the capacity of the state.

Book Synopsis The Political Economy of Armed Conflict by : Karen Ballentine
Download or read book The Political Economy of Armed Conflict written by Karen Ballentine and published by Lynne Rienner Publishers. This book was released on 2003 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalization, suggest the authors of this collection, is creating new opportunities - some legal, some illicit - for armed factions to pursue their agendas in civil war. Within this context, they analyze the key dynamics of war economies and the challenges posed for conflict resolution and sustainable peace. Thematic chapters consider key issues in the political economy of internal wars, as well as how differing types of resource dependency influence the scope, character, and duration of conflicts. Case studies of Burma, Colombia, Kosovo, Papua New Guinea, and Sri Lanka illustrate a range of ways in which belligerents make use of global markets and the transnational flow of resources. An underlying theme is the opportunities available to the international community to alter the economic incentive structure that inadvertently supports armed conflict.
Book Synopsis Political Economy and Public Finance by : Stanley L. Winer
Download or read book Political Economy and Public Finance written by Stanley L. Winer and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a long-standing difference amongst public economists between those who think that collective choice must be formally acknowledged, and those who derive their policy recommendations from a social planning framework in which politics plays no role. The purpose of this book is to contribute to a meaningful dialogue between these two groups, in the belief that the future of both political economy and of normative public finance lies somewhere between the two approaches. Some of the specific questions addressed in the book include: does public finance need political economy? Should collective choice play a role in the standard of reference used in normative public finance? What is a 'failure' in a non-market or policy process? And what have we learned about the theory and practice of public finance from three decades of empirical research on public choice? The book also provides a practitioner's view of the political economy of redistribution.

Download or read book Finance Capital, Imperialism and War written by Erdogan A and published by Erdogan A. This book was released on 2022-09-07 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of modern, i.e., financial capitalism, must constitute, and to some extent already constitutes, the main part of the course of political economy in our general education schools. Meanwhile, in our book market there are still no textbooks for this most important part of the course. The present work is an attempt, at least in part, to fill this gap. Our book is a teaching aid and only a teaching aid. The author, of course, does not claim originality or independence of the conclusions - the work is based on the Leninist concept.
Book Synopsis War, Wine, and Taxes by : John V. C. Nye
Download or read book War, Wine, and Taxes written by John V. C. Nye and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In War, Wine, and Taxes, John Nye debunks the myth that Britain was a free-trade nation during and after the industrial revolution, by revealing how the British used tariffs—notably on French wine—as a mercantilist tool to politically weaken France and to respond to pressure from local brewers and others. The book reveals that Britain did not transform smoothly from a mercantilist state in the eighteenth century to a bastion of free trade in the late nineteenth. This boldly revisionist account gives the first satisfactory explanation of Britain's transformation from a minor power to the dominant nation in Europe. It also shows how Britain and France negotiated the critical trade treaty of 1860 that opened wide the European markets in the decades before World War I. Going back to the seventeenth century and examining the peculiar history of Anglo-French military and commercial rivalry, Nye helps us understand why the British drink beer not wine, why the Portuguese sold liquor almost exclusively to Britain, and how liberal, eighteenth-century Britain managed to raise taxes at an unprecedented rate—with government revenues growing five times faster than the gross national product. War, Wine, and Taxes stands in stark contrast to standard interpretations of the role tariffs played in the economic development of Britain and France, and sheds valuable new light on the joint role of commercial and fiscal policy in the rise of the modern state.
Download or read book Taxing Wars written by Sarah Kreps and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq lasted longer than any others in American history? The conventional wisdom suggests that the move to an all-volunteer force and unmanned technologies such as drones have reduced the apparent burden of war so much that they have allowed these conflicts to continue almost unnoticed for years. Taxing Wars suggests that the burden in blood is just one side of the coin. The way Americans bear the burden in treasure has also changed, and these changes have both eroded accountability and contributed to the phenomenon of perpetual war. Sarah Kreps chronicles the entire history of how America has paid for its wars-and how its methods have changed. Early on, the United States imposed war taxes that both demanded sacrifices from all Americans and served as reminders of their participation. Indeed, thinkers from Immanuel Kant to Adam Smith argued that these reminders were exactly the reason why democracies tended to fight shorter and less costly wars. Bearing these burdens caused the populace to sue for peace when the costs mounted. Leaders in a democracy, responsive to their citizens, would have incentives to heed that opposition and bring wars to as expeditious an end as possible. Since the Korean War, the United States has increasingly moved away from war taxes. Instead, borrowing-and its comparatively less visible connection with the war-has become a permanent feature of contemporary wars. The move serves leaders well because reducing the apparent burden of war has helped mute public opposition and any decision-making constraints. But by masking accountability, however, the move away from war taxes undermines the basis for democratic restraint in wartime. Contemporary wars have become correspondingly longer and costlier as the public has become disconnected from those burdens. Given the trends identified in Taxing Wars, the recent past-epitomized by our lengthy wars in Afghanistan and Iraq-is likely to be prologue.
