Abstract

Professor Payne reports here the finding that Marxist states tend to maintain significantly higher levels of military capability than do the non-Marxist states. This tendency on their part, he argues, is not to be understood as a calculated response to specific foreign and domestic policy goals; it is implicit in their ideology and in the totalitarian nature of their regimes. He goes on to suggest that this tendency should be kept in mind while developing American policy toward arms control agreements with the Soviet Union and toward Marxist attempts to take control of governments in the third world.
