Military Industry and Regional Defense Policy re-examines military
industrialization in the developing world, focusing on
policy-making in producer states and the impact of security
perceptions on such policy-making. Timothy D. Hoyt reassesses the
role of regional state sub-systems in international relations, and
recent historical studies of international technology and arms
transfers. Looking at Israel, Iraq and India, the three most
powerful regional powers in the Cold War era, he presesnts an
expert analysis of the three-sided phenomena of the regional
hegemony, the regional competitor and the small over-achiever. This
new book breaks away from existing literature on military
industries in the developing world, which has focused on their
economic and development costs and benefits. These past studies
have used primitive methodologies that focus on the production of
complete weapons systems - a misleading gauge in a world of growing
international defense cooperation. They have also ignored empirical
evidence of the impact of local military industrial production on
Cold War regional conflict, and of the defence planning and
concerns that drove development of indigenous military industries
in key regional powers. This new text delivers an incisive new
perspective.
