This book was released on 2001-12-01 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores general effects of military installations on local employment, and the special case of Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC). A partial adjustment construct is used. Both random and fixed effects specifications of the disturbance term are evaluated. The analysis also includes levels and changes forms of the model. Defense personnel changes are decomposed into positive, negative, and BRAC related components, then examined for asymmetrical effects attributable to the public goods and community infrastructure vacuum brought about through installation downsizing. Economic assistance, and facilities reutilization in BRAC communities are also considered, as are the elasticities of defense employment multipliers with respect to industry specialization and military vs. civilian workforce composition. Instrumental variable techniques are employed. A novel panel data set incorporating 21 years of county level data allows comprehensive examination of defense related employment trends across all 50 states. The collection of sub-county defense personnel figures addresses a shortcoming of other county- level impact studies, which reconcile community employment changes against base closure personnel losses, without consideration of personnel dynamics at other military installations within the same county. There is evidence of asymmetrical relationships between military personnel level changes, and local community employment. While this supports the proposition of favorable effects through reutilization of public and community infrastructure, economic assistance and the practice of outsourcing defense support functions are also identified as contributors to this condition. Results also suggest regional industry specialization and workforce composition have little influence on the effect of local defense employment changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American communities face serious challenges when military bases close. But affected municipalities and metro regions are not doomed. Taking a long-term, flexible, and incremental approach, Michael Touchton and Amanda J. Ashley make strong recommendations for collaborative models of governance that can improve defense conversion dramatically and ensure benefits, even for low-resource municipalities. Communities can't control their economic situation or geographic location, but, as Salvaging Community shows, communities can control how they govern conversion processes geared toward redevelopment and reinvention. In Salvaging Community, Touchton and Ashley undertake a comprehensive evaluation of how such communities redevelop former bases following the Department of Defense's Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process. To do so, they developed the first national database on military redevelopment and combine quantitative national analyses with three, in-depth case studies in California. Salvaging Community thus fills the void in knowledge surrounding redevelopment of bases and the disparate outcomes that affect communities after BRAC. The data presented in Salvaging Community points toward effective strategies for collaborative governance that address the present-day needs of municipal officials, economic development agencies, and non-profit organizations working in post-BRAC communities. Defense conversion is not just about jobs or economic rebound, Touchton and Ashley argue. Emphasizing inclusion and sustainability in redevelopment promotes rejuvenated communities and creates places where people want to live. As localities and regions deal with the legacy of the post-Cold War base closings and anticipate new closures in the future, Salvaging Community presents a timely and constructive approach to both economic and community development at the close of the military-industrial era.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1988 and 1995, the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission closed down 97 bases and realigned over 350 other bases. A hot button topic in the military field, base-closings is an important issue that affects not only soldiers, but ordinary citizens as well. Due to their massive economic significance for local and regional communities, military bases impact thousands of people, and thus encompass various political interests between local, state, and national levels. This reference work investigates the politics and key political figures involved in base-closing decisions, and considers various reasons why bases have been and continue to be closed down. An overview of the U.S. military base infrastructure as well as primary documents is included to help students understand the BRAC Commission process between 1988-2005. The book also analyzes the closure of overseas bases outside of the BRAC process. Ideal for high school, undergraduate, and graduate students, this comprehensive handbook is the only complete reference guide to military base closings.
