The defense budget has declined by some 40 percent since its Cold War peak and has leveled off for now. There is little difference between the Administration and the Congressional Republican leadership over total defense spending. Full recapitalization of the existing force structure will require an increase in the procurement account to some $60 billion per year. Two relatively new concepts are emerging as ways to preserve military capability despite tight budgets: expanding joint perspectives in the Pentagon's planning, capitalizing on opportunities offered by technology, especially information technologies.

In this comprehensive study, 15 African experts describe and analyse the military budgetary processes and degree of parliamentary oversight and control in nine countries of Africa, spanning across all the continent's sub-regions. Each case study addresses a wide range of questions, such as the roles of the ministries of finance, budget offices, audit departments and external actors in the military budgetary processes, the extent of compliance with standard public expenditure management procedures, and how well official military expenditure figures reflect the true economic resources devoted to military activities in these countries.
