Globalization and the Fate of Post-Cold War Social Welfare.pdf

This paper was intended for revision into a purely theoretical piece for submission to the Journal of Progressive Human Services.  In the future, I plan to revise the empirical data collection strategy to first address this question quantitatively, by doing a secondary analysis of existing datasets on the relationship of military and social expenditures before, during, and after the Cold War.  Only later would I seek to supplement this with qualitative historical data of the kind originally anticipated in this paper, which was originally developed as a draft of a dissertation prospectus for Prof. Howard Kimeldorf.  It also drew up my 133 page single-spaced monograph on the subject prepared for Prof. Michael Kennedy (December 1995).  This topic could not easily be addressed so soon after the end of the Cold War.  Now, however, the timing is excellent for further work in this topic.
