This book, first published in 1989, analyses the effect that
interdependence has had on the defence industrial base,
concentrating upon those defence industries situated at the hi-tech
end, and paying particular attention to the procurement decisions
that affect the production of sophisticated military aircraft.
Interdependence raises questions of importance to international
relations, strategic studies and defence economics, and Western
industrialised states have an ongoing dilemma over the degree to
which they should subject their defence industrial bases to the
forces of economic interdependence. Despite worries over strategic
vulnerability, most Western states have been showing increased
interest in arms collaboration, with the aim of maximizing the
amount of weaponry available for defence. As this book shows, such
a goal becomes increasingly important s the technological
sophistication of weapons grows.
