Abstract
- One problem in the negotiation and verification of any possible international agreement on the reduction of military expenditure is the difficulty of determining common definitions and methods of evaluation and comparison. Various alternative methods of comparison are discussed and the work of a United Nations group dealing with these matters, including particularly the purchasing power parity method, is reviewed. It is concluded, that, given political will and reasonable availability of adequate and relevant information, the construction of useful instruments for international and chronological comparisons of military expenditure is feasible.<br />Un des problèmes de la négociation et de la vérification d'un éventuel accord international sur la réduction des dépenses militaires est la difficulté de déterminer des définitions et des méthodes d'évaluation et de comparaison communes. Diverses méthodes alternatives de comparaison sont examinées et les travaux d'un groupe des Nations unies chargé de ces questions, notamment la méthode de la parité du pouvoir d'achat, sont passés en revue. Il est conclu que, sous réserve d'une volonté politique et d'une disponibilité raisonnable d'informations adéquates et pertinentes, la construction d'instruments utiles pour les comparaisons internationales et chronologiques des dépenses militaires est possible.
