At Arms Length: The European Union and Europes Defence Industry [Paperback]

The author examines the extent to which the European Union and its policies influence Europe's defence industry. He suggests that the end of the Cold War and economic globalization are major factors pushing defence industrial issues to the regional level. The book describes institutional struggles between the European Commission, Council and Parliament in this policy area. The interdisciplinary approach addresses political economy, institution building, European security and defence, transatlantic relations, industrial restructuring, and the influence of defence sector interest groups.List of Tables Preface Abbreviations and Acronyms Introduction Europe's Defense Industry in the 1990s The European Union and Defense Industry Policy The Global Context and US Defense Industry Defense Industries and the Nation-State Defense Industry Interest Groups Conclusion and Future Considerations Notes IndexTerrence R.
