Defence-related industries are central to the economies of most of the advanced nations with defence and civil industrial bases often inextricably linked. This book discusses the key questions surrounding the relationship between defence and civil industry. This collection of studies highlights the complex nature of this relationship and the equally complex determinants of corporate government policy in this area. The contributors present us with analysis based on historical and contemporary examples juxtaposed with informed debate on the future relationship between defence and civil technological policy. The late 1980s and early 1990s have witnessed a profound change in the international security environment. The Gulf War, the demise of the former Soviet Union and the restructuring of Eastern Europe have forced a re-examination of defence policies, weapons procurement strategies, and research and development agendas throughout the Western world.
