This book comparatively examines the preferences of four key
arms-producing states towards European joint armaments programmes.
The European defence market is characterised by a mixture of
inter-state competition and European cooperation, and this work
assesses why countries sometimes decide to cooperate with their
partners, while in other instances they refrain from doing so. In
order to shed light on this empirical puzzle, the book focuses on
state-defence industry relations in the four major European arms
producers: France, Germany, Italy and the UK. The main argument is
that the public or private governance of industrial suppliers and
market size are the two decisive variables that explain the
simultaneous presence of cooperation and competition in European
defence procurement. Specifically, it argues that in public
governance ecosystems, arms industries are able to "capture" the
state's decision-making processes to their own advantage. In
private governance ecosystems, the state is relatively autonomous
from defence industry's influence and able to pursue larger
macro-economic and military benefits. Moreover, the strategy
pursued by governments and defence firms is decisively shaped by
market size because of its importance in determining the relative
costs and benefits of collaborative arrangements. This book will be
of much interest to students of EU policy, defence studies,
European politics and International Relations.
