3 Note on the Security Component of the 24 CDI A Word on Methodology The essence of these rankings for security-related contributions to development is as follows. Naturally, money paid to the United Nations for regular peacekeeping assessments is included. So are estimated costs for deploying troops to UN-conducted peacekeeping missions that exceed the reimbursements provided by the UN for such costs. So are similar costs incurred in missions authorized by the UN and serving a specific peacekeeping purpose. These are the marginal (that is, the additional) costs of deploying troops that have already been trained, equipped, and paid through normal national military budgets to specific overseas deployments. Finally, we include an estimate of these normal national costs for training, equipping, and paying troops to the extent that those troops might be used in peacekeeping, stabilization, or other humanitarian missions. No country to our knowledge maintains specific forces simply to have them available for such missions, without any other purpose. Thus it is difficult to compute costs in this category. The best way to determine how many troops in a country's armed forces are potentially available for such peacekeeping or stabilization missions is to examine what has actually happened in the recent past. By examining a sufficiently long period of time, one can begin to get a sense of how many of its own troops a country might consider in some general sense to be potentially available for peacekeeping, stabilization, or humanitarian purposes. The maximum number of troops deployed abroad over a given time frame gives a sense of the number that can said to be trained, equipped, paid, and otherwise maintained in a country's force structure partly for the possible purpose of carrying out such missions. For example, Australia and New Zealand deployed large forces to East Timor in 1999/2. A number of NATO countries have deployed significant numbers of troops to Balkans peace operations since the mid-late 199s. The United States deployed considerable numbers of forces for that latter purpose itself, but even moreso devoted a large number of personnel to the NATO air war to protect the Kosovar Albanian people from Serb aggression in This latter case is somewhat controversial, perhaps, since we are counting forces devoted to a wartime operation as a humanitarian-related security expenditure in a developmentrelated cost index. But NATO's purpose in Kosovo, while partly strategic, was principally focused on restoring Kosovar Albanians to their homes. Few viewed Serbia as a general threat to the continent's stability, so the purpose of this mission was not to check a threat that if left unaddressed could grow with time, but to prevent Slobodan Milosevic and his minions from slaughtering another small oppressed minority population of the former Yugoslavia. Hence we count efforts towards winning that war in this index. We do not count the role of the United States or any other country in post-saddam Iraq (or for that matter postwar Korea). That mission is blessed by the UN and serves a humanitarian purpose in trying to help the Iraqi people achieve a stable government and prosperous economy. But few can doubt that the peacekeeping mission was an inevitable 3

4 consequence of the US-led invasion, given how the post-saddam period has unfolded in Iraq, and that the invasion was itself undertaken principally for strategic purposes. This is not to criticize the invasion; some who have worked on this index supported it while others opposed it. But we are generally unified in the view that US-led action in Iraq, while aiming to achieving substantial humanitarian benefits for the Iraqi people, was not principally motivated by that consideration. Hence it is not considered germane to this exercise focused on development indicators, and the contributions of various countries to the mission, however worthy, are not included in the security index. Methods Used The direct cost of personnel contributions (total civilian police, observer and troops) to United Nations peacekeeping operations is measured as the annual cost of deploying personnel to such missions during the time period The number of personnel contributed per year is measured as the monthly personnel contribution that each DAC country deploys to U.N. peacekeeping missions. The number of personnel contributed yearly between is then multiplied by the estimated cost of deploying these personnel. For the purposes of this study all kinds of personnel is valued at $9,/person/month. The indirect cost of personnel contributions (total civilian police, observer and troops) is measured as the annual cost of having personnel ready to be deployed to U.N. peacekeeping operations during the time period The number of personnel ready to be deployed per year is measured as the peak annual personnel contribution that each DAC country deployed to U.N. peacekeeping operations during the period This is since the peak annual amount of personnel each country contributed to U.N. peacekeeping operations is assumed to be the number of personnel that the country has to train and provide for in peacetime in order to be able to deploy them to U.N. peacekeeping operations when needed. To estimate the cost of doing so, we measure how much of each DAC country s active military forces the peak annual number of personnel contributions to U.N. peacekeeping operations constitute, and then multiply this fraction with the defense budget of the country in question over the period The annual financial contribution to United Nations is measured as the annual amount of financial contributions made to the United Nations for peacekeeping operations by each DAC country over the period 1998 and 22. There is no equivalent manner of measuring financial contributions to non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian missions, and hence no column for this category in this cumulative table of financial estimates of contributions to peacekeeping operations and humanitarian interventions. Annual direct cost of personnel contributions to non-united Nations peacekeeping operations and humanitarian interventions is measured as the annual cost of deploying personnel (total civilian police, observer and troops) to international but non-united Nations peacekeeping operations and humanitarian 4

5 interventions over the period Peacekeeping missions and humanitarian interventions included are; Peace Monitoring Group in Bougainville (Bougainville) Multinational Force and Observers, (MFO), Egypt. SFOR, Bosnia KFOR, Kosovo ISAF, Afghanistan AFOR, Albania Northern Watch, Iraq INTERFET, East Timor Kosovo air war Deliberate Forge, NATO air operation in support of SFOR operations Joint Guardian, NATO contingency operation in Kosovo French intervention in Cote d Ivoire British intervention in Sierra Leone The number of personnel contributed by each country to each mission yearly between 1998 and 22 is multiplied by the estimated cost of deploying these personnel. For the purposes of this study all kinds of personnel is valued at $1,/person/month. The reason this estimate differs from the direct cost of personnel contributions to United Nations peace keeping operations ($9,/person/month) is because the U.N. reimburses each personnel with $1,/month. Questions and Answers about the Security Component Q: How did you decide what missions to include? A: We have included all un conducted missions motivated principally by humanitarian goals, as well as un-blessed missions of similar type run by organizations such as NATO, and in the case of the Kosovo air campaign, a humanitarian-motivated mission blessed only by NATO (not the un, but the world's largest security organization of democracies). Q: By looking at only humanitarian missions you have chosen intent as a selection criterion. Why do you believe that is the right selection criteria? A: The main reason we focus on military missions primarily motivated by humanitarianism is that otherwise the index would be dominated by the costs of the iraq war and aftermath which, however worthy they may have been and however many humanitarian benefits they have undoubtedly produced, were not motivated principally by development concerns and would not have been conducted--especially not on the scale observed for that purpose. Q: Why did you use $1, as the cost of deployed troop/month? A: Past U.S. military operations in the last decade have cost at least $1, per deployed troop per month, in marginal or additional costs (not counting pay, normal training and 5

6 equipment costs, etc.). We thus take this figure as a good estimate for all western countries for all operations, in the interest of simplicity, since most countries do not provide data of the quality or detail provided by the pentagon for theus role in various operations. Q: What is the difference between direct and indirect cost of contributing personnel to missions, and how do you avoid double counting? A: We assume that whatever (maximum) fraction of a country's total military personnel were deployed at some point for a humanitarian mission, that same fraction of the country's defense budget should be viewed as being spent each year to prepare for possible humanitarian missions. One could argue that such an estimate is too high, since the same forces could perform other missions. Similarly, one could argue it is too low, since to surge and sustain a force of a given size requires that one have backup forces to provide a rotation base. We find this approach therefore reasonable and simple. The marginal costs of a mission, in other words the costs we estimate at$1, per deployed troop per month, are the equivalent of a supplemental appropriation cost. The fraction of the peacetime budget devoted to manning and training and equipping forces that may be used in humanitarian missions is distinct from these supplemental costs. Thus there is no double counting. Q: What aspects where not included in your study? A: We do not include, at present at least, certain matters such as how much of a country's defense budget is devoted to protecting sea lanes that thus aid in the cause of global trade and development because we have not yet found a good way to estimate this contribution. No navies are maintained primarily for this purpose, and even when they defend sealanes it is principally for more strategic purposes, so it is difficult to determine a fair share of the defense budget to allocate for this purpose. 6

The number of personnel contributed yearly between 1998 to 22 is then multiplied by the estimated cost of deploying these personnel. For the purposes of this study all kinds of personnel is valued at $9,/person/month. ii The indirect cost of personnel contributions (total civilian police, observer and troops) is measured as the annual cost of having personnel ready to be deployed to U.N. peacekeeping operations during the time period The number of personnel ready to be deployed per year is measured as the peak annual personnel contribution that each DAC country deployed to U.N. peacekeeping operations during the period This is since the peak annual amount of personnel each country contributed to U.N. peacekeeping operations is assumed to be the number of personnel that the country has to train and provide for in peacetime in order to be able to deploy them to U.N. peacekeeping operations when needed.

The reason this estimate differs from the direct cost of personnel contributions to United Nations peace keeping operations ($9,/person/month) is because the U.N. reimburses each personnel with $1,/month. Not all missions took place during all the 12 months of each year they are listed in the detailed year-by-year matrix for non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian interventions. Personnel contributions to each mission are thus calculated separately depending on the duration of the mission. The duration of each 9

10 mission that did not take place on a year-long basis can be found in the detailed year-by-year matrix for non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian interventions. The total cost of deployments for all missions during each year is then added in order to assess the overall cost of deployments during the period This total is then divided by the number of years in the period studied (5) in order to get the annual cost of personnel contributions to non- United Nations peacekeeping operation and humanitarian interventions. v The indirect cost of personnel contributions (total civilian police, observer and troops) to non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian interventions is measured as the annual cost of having personnel ready to be deployed to such missions during the time period The number of personnel ready to be deployed per year is measured as the peak annual personnel contribution that each DAC country deployed to the specific non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian interventions mentioned above (end note iv) during the period This is since the peak annual amount of personnel each country contributed to these missions is assumed to be the number of personnel that the country has to train and provide for in peacetime in order to be able to deploy them to similar missions when needed. To estimate the cost of doing so, we measure how much of each DAC country s active military forces the peak annual number of personnel contributions to of non-united Nations peacekeeping and humanitarian interventions constitute, and then multiply this fraction with the defense budget of the country in question over the period

This ratio is based on how many personnel was represented by the 927 airplanes the United States had ready to be deployed, which is the most reliable ratio of personnel to airplanes among the states involved in this NATO operation. The constant z will be used in calculations to illustrate this ratio. 36
