“…are correlated with higher levels of arms production. 87 With regard to corruption levels, more corrupt countries appear to be slightly less likely to receive German arms exports. The military expenditure coefficients are only statistically significant in stage two.…”

Deciding on arms exports is a delicate matter in western democracies. Potential economic and security gains have to be weighed against normative and security concerns. This article explores how this tension is solved in Germany, a country that holds strong moral aspirations but at the same time lists among the top arms exporting nations worldwide. Using a newly compiled dataset, we quantitatively analyse German exports of major conventional weapons (MCWs) from 1992 to 2013. Our statistical findings do not support the claim that the human rights situation in recipient countries plays an important role for German arms export decisions. Our two-stage model therefore supports a trading state rather than civilian power reading of Germany, at least when it comes to arms export practices.

“…The decision to produce arms is studied (e.g. Brauer 1991;Brzoska 1999;Buzan and Herring 1997;Kinsella 2000;Yesilyurt et al 2013). Identifying why states change furthers our understanding of arms transfers beyond purely political and economic exchanges (e.g.…”

“…Robertson and Adrian (2017) have developed, for the example of China, a relative military cost/price index based on the relative unit costs of inputs into arms production. This is in the spirit of using data on (civilian) industries (see, Wulf, 2018, andYesilyurt, et al 2014) II). The high U.S. numbers are explained in WMEAT as deriving from the inclusion of commercial sales in the data.…”

Currently there exist no data series comparing arms production values among countries. The article outlines three methods for generating such data series based largely on already available data series relevant to arms production, in particular series on arms imports and exports, procurement, and turnover figures from the world’s largest arms producing companies. All three methods have major shortcomings and limitations but with additional effort in data collection they can provide a basis for comparing arms production values among countries as well as for regional and global totals. Furthermore, as the three methods use different definitions of the scope of arms production, comparison of the data produced by them can provide additional insights.
