Summary:碩士 === 世新大學 === 行政管理學研究所(含博、碩專班) === 97 === In the past several years, the national whole development and center of planning have already replaced national defense spending with economic development and social welfare. The budget amount of the national defense accounts for GNP and GDP rate presents the trend that has decreased progressively year by year. But we know that only proper national defense construction is the strongest guarantee of consolidating national security and economic prosperity. However, the national defense budget is one of the master budgets in government's whole budget. The proportion should be considered simultaneously while politics, economy, education, society and transportation are concerned. National defense budget should be reasonably made under budget constraint and meet the principle of national security. The time period of this study covers from 1997 to 2008. It is offered through the domestic and foreign documents and the statistical analysis of domestic overall economic situation, national government finance state and political situation in the past 12 years. The operating budget account and capital budget account are two main indicators of national defense budget. They were combined and analyzed through the historical data, expecting to find out a trend of thought. It is not only to be the reference for government to compile and carry out the allocation of national defense budget thereafter but also offer people a further knowledge of the national defense budget. Conclusion by the research: First, in the situation of macro-economy, such indicator changes as listed GNP, GDP and economic growth rate by compiling amount level of the operating account and the capital account to the national defense budget, did not show significant correlation.
