Which one of the following is not a determinant of defence expenditure ?

  • A.Leadership
  • B.Ideology
  • C.National Power
  • D.Public enterprises like post office

Answer: D

The one that is not a determinant of defence expenditure is public enterprises like post office.

A country's defence spending is shaped by the threats it perceives, its national power and economic capacity, the ideology and strategic goals of its government, and the decisions of its leadership. Leadership, ideology and national power are therefore all standard determinants.

Public enterprises like the post office are civilian services with no bearing on how much a state spends on defence, so they do not belong in the list.
