ABSTRACT

In the framework for analysis of civil-military relations presented by Cris Matei in Chapter 3, we posit three necessary but not sufficient requirements for effectiveness. They are: (1) A plan or strategy; (2) some type of institutional mechanism for coordination and implementation; and (3) sufficient resources to meet the plan’s objectives. The last requirement, resources, leads us into the topic of efficiency in the use of resources, which is the topic of this chapter.
