This thesis focuses on analyzing U.S. federal defense spending in the context of economic growth and globalization between 1993 and 2021. The aim of this thesis is to verify the assigned hypothesis: The level of U.S. federal government defense spending from 1993 to 2021 correlated significantly with the party currently in power, with the Republican Party generally favoring higher defense spending. By analyzing defense spending in the context of political parties and individual U.S. presidents during the period under review. The analysis verifies the hypothesis, confirming that U.S. federal defense spending during the years under review correlated significantly with the party in power, with Republican presidents seeing, on average, higher year-over-year growth in federal defense spending, with defense spending under Republican presidents accounting on average for a larger share of total federal spending, and the contribution of defense spending to GDP growth being consistently positive during the presidencies of Bush and Trump in the years under review. The analysis also shows that defense spending was significantly influenced by the September 11, 2001, attacks and the subsequent war on terrorism. On the other hand, the analysis confirms that during the terms of Democratic presidents, defense spending tended to decrease on average year-over-year, and its contribution to GDP growth was negative on average. Furthermore, the analysis points to a positive average growth trend in total federal spending under both Democratic and Republican presidents.
