How a nation's resources are allocated -- who gets what and why -- is inextricably linked to the politics and political system of that nation. The distribution of such resources has undeniable consequences for national social welfare. Taking a comparative approach to analyzing such issues as industrial performance, quality of life, and national security, the contributors to this volume examine the resource allocation processes of a wide range of nation-states.
