This book examines the nature of the international arms trade and
the adjustment of the defense industries in the United States and
Russia to the post-cold war world. O'Prey highlights the
substantial reduction in demand for armaments both on the world
market and by the two countries. Although this decrease in demand
results partly from the decline of the superpower rivalry, it also
represents the culmination of technological and industrial trends
that have been under way for over a decade. O'Prey argues that many
observers have not recognized the long-term nature of these
changes. As a consequence, industry representatives and some
government officials in both countries often unwisely emphasize
arms exports as a means to preserve their cold war defense
industries. Given the high expectations of export success and low
levels of demand, competition among arms suppliers has become
intense. In the process, proliferation of armaments, technologies,
and production processes to outlaw states has become more likely.
In addition, false expectations of arms export success may lead
officials to forgo necessary restructuring and conversion of their
defense industries. This problem is especially pronounced in
Russia. O'Prey offers a number of suggestions for resolving the
problems posed by arms export competition and defense industry
adjustment. He argues that in virtually all cases, cooperation or
partnership between the U.S. and Russia will be essential.
Potential measures range from mutual restraint in arms exports to
private industry partnerships for defense conversion and ultimately
to multilateral initiatives for defense industry and export
cooperation.
