“…European arms-producing countries are confronted with a paradox. Maintaining a domestic defence industrial base constitutes a prerequisite to achieve sovereignty or at least strategic autonomy, but a purely domestic industry has become less and less sustainable since the end of the Cold War (Hartley et al 2008). Limited budgets combined with the rising cost of advanced defence systems are likely to push European states to enlarge the market for major defence capabilities by pooling their efforts in order to reach the required critical mass (Bellais and Oudot 2019).…”

“…However, the Europeanization of defense has been more about marketization than European security itself. While the liberalization of the European defense industry largely occurred already in the 1980s (Hartley et al 2008), the drive toward the EU-level started in the 1990s and continued throughout the 2000s. The developments were pushed forward particularly by France and the French military establishment, which is understandable because historically France was less tightly integrated into the NATO compared to Germany and the United Kingdom (Mérand 2006;Rieker 2006).…”

“…Although EU-wide public procurement continues to face substantial problems in all economic sectors (Gelderman et al 2010;OECD 2017), it is the civilian side on which procurement has been more prevalent. That said, it must be stressed that also defense procurement has been widespread in Europe, albeit often under different joint ventures and their monopolistic arrangements (Hartley et al 2008). Even when keeping in mind the recent demands from the USA for the European NATO member states to increase their defense spending, the illustration in Fig.…”

“…Les industries de la Défense aux USA et en Europe se sont fortement restructurées par des fusions/acquisitions importantes (Blanc, 2000). Depuis les années 1990, la privatisation des industries de Défense européennes a conduit à la création d'une multitude de groupes de taille réduite, avec des capacités de R&D faibles et des coûts fixes élevés (Hartley et al, 2008) comparés aux groupes américains. La nécessité de regrouper, de fusionner, faire coopérer les industries européennes devient donc impérative afin de préserver l'outil industriel.…”
