The relationship between government and the businesses that
contribute towards the defence and security of the state is a
critical one; it often underscores a modern state's foreign policy
and sense of place in the world. Yet, despite its clear importance,
this subject is underexplored and rarely analysed in a rigorous
manner. As a consequence, government defence industrial policies,
if they exist at all, often seem somewhat contrived, ill-considered
and contradictory. The Defence Industrial Triptych systematically
analyses the components and drivers of the relationships that bind
a government to its defence industrial base by examining three
major case studies: the UK, US and Germany, who between them
account for over three quarters of NATO defence spending. The
features of their defence industrial relationships -whether common
or unique - provide vital lessons for policy-makers, industrialists
and the taxpayer. As defence cuts bite across NATO and as the UK
approaches the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the
relationships this Whitehall Paper considers are more important
than ever.
