Summary:
Systematically analyzes the components and drivers of the relationships that bind a government to its defense industrial base by examining three major case studies: the UK, US and Germany, which between them account for over three-quarters of NATO defense spending. The features of their defense industrial relationships - whether common or unique - provide lessons for policy-makers, industrialists and the taxpayer.
