Beyond Micromanagement: Congressional Budgeting for a Post-Cold War Military
(2005) Stockton, Paul; Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR)
Critics of Congress often attack it for micromanaging the defense budget-that is, for dictating how much to spend on particular weapons and imposing other detailed requirements on the Department of Defense (DOD). Those critics urge Congress to shift its attention toward broader issues of U.S. military strategy, which for budgeting purposes concerns the size and overall characteristics that U.S. forces should have. However, as the old saying goes, beware of what you wish for; you might get it. Since 1990, key legislators have launched a barrage of proposals on defense strategy. This activism highlights the need to rethink how legislators link the details of the defense budget to broader policy concerns, and how the end of the cold war is affecting the mechanisms legislators use to shape defense spending.

About the Center: Based at the US Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey CA, the Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR) was established in 1994 to assist newly emerging democracies in addressing the civil-military challenges of the post-Cold War world. In the two decades since its founding, CCMR has evolved to partner with a much broader range of regions and countries. Within the contemporary security environment, CCMR enables current US policies and strategies by offering a full spectrum of civil-military related programs.

Legislatures and Defense: The Comparative Experience, Occasional Paper #8
(2001-06) Giraldo, Jeanne Kinney; Center for Civil-Military Relations (CCMR); National Security Affairs; National Security Affairs (NSA)
Democratically elected representatives in a country’s legislature have an important role to play in formulating defense and military policy and monitoring its implementation (i.e., oversight). Legislative participation in these areas is desirable for a number of reasons. Democracy as “rule by the people” is enhanced by input from all elected officials, not just those who comprise the executive branch. The needs of society and the military are more likely to be balanced to the extent that representatives from all segments of society are consulted in the policy process. Although consulting multiple actors in the Congress on defense issues may be time-consuming, the end result is usually better and longer lasting policy. The policy produced tends to be better as both the executive and military actors involved are forced to defend their positions publicly.
