The Matrix of Money and Motivation in Military Spending

Via, of all places Price Waterhouse Coopers, we have one of the more interesting graphics on the global status of defense spending priorities I have seen in awhile.

There is just so much "there" here that I can't stop looking at it.

It is from their report, Global Defense Perspectives: Mapping Prioritization and Posture in a Challenging World;
Our approach for developing these global defense perspectives looks at recent defense spending trends and the major investment, institutional, structural and strategic priorities and challenges impacting these nations.

..., we have measured and plotted these 60 nations against two dimensions: 1) how they prioritize defense spending and 2) how they position or ‘posture’ themselves in the global security environment.
Ponder.

Hat tip Claire Chu.
