Profound changes are occurring in the structure of arms production in Western Europe.

In this book, experts describe how the framework for producing arms in Western Europe is altered, and how various actorsDSfirms, governments, unionsDSare adapting to the new situation. The book presents detailed analyses for all arms-producing countries in Western Europe.

In addition to describing recent changes, the authors speculate on the implications of these for the balance of power in Western Europe, the relations between Western Europe and the United States, arms exports to the Third World, and problems of converting military production to civilian uses.

`An invaluable overview ... the editors are therefore to be congratulated on their success in establishing, and sticking to, a narrow thematic focus.' International Affairs `written in the best SIPRI tradition: with an emphasis on detailed and reliable empirical data' NOD Conversion `a mine of valuable information on changes in the industry in the major countries ... The appendices and numerous tables ... are particularly useful and include details of relevant EEC treaties and IEPG activities.' Defence `provocative and timely ... Anyone interested in the general topic of arms production and western Europe will find this book valuable.' Political Studies 'This book is indispensable to a proper understanding of this complex process ... filled with detailed data on policy and commercial developments in this fast-moving sector, compiled by an impressive multinational team of leading academic and public policy experts ... those interested in the West European arms production will find this book a useful source of reliable data and interpretation.' Andrew Moravcsik, Harvard University, American Political Science Review, Vol. 87, No. 1, March 1993 `This is both a timely and valuable contribution to the expanding debate about the future role of the arms industries of Europe, and indeed adds to the global discussion of these issues ... This book has many intriguing views and comments.' Defense Analysis `very interesting book ... should find a place in all libraries dealing with Defence, and should be read by all those connected with procurement of armament.' USI Journal `If you want to know how the defence business is faring in the current climate, its all here. The amount of facts and figures that are presented ... are staggering.'Millennium
