“…James (19) too studies the defence industry and co-operation in the European-level framework. Similarly to Struys and Hartley and Braddon, James suggests a strengthened and common European industrial base (3) . Additionally, he proposes building "defence industrial towers of excellence" to Europe to be able to co-operate with the U.S as an equal partner.…”

The objective of this paper is to discuss current challenges of specific collaboration mechanisms between the defence establishment and national defence industry and to present a holistic, conceptual co-operation model of systems approach, based on discussion to enhance that cooperation. This survey focuses mainly on problems that are related to defence technology and industrial strategies. A special emphasis is placed on collaboration activities and mechanisms between the above mentioned partners; technology programmes, industrial participation, defence centres of excellence and immaterial property rights to reveal collaboration dilemmas from various aspects. The conceptual model of systems approach pursues to manage cooperation activities and mechanisms comprehensively and so fulfil expectations placed for the collaboration both by the defence establishment and the industry. Applicability and value of the model is verified by risk analysis. The paper has a Finnish focus and it delineates the challenges identified with Finnish examples. However, the model that it represents is of universal application, especially for countries that do not have a comprehensive defence industry but import the major part of their materiel from abroad.

“…To compensate for the difficulties of producing sophisticated weapons, arms producers are globalising their supply chains, obtaining components from a range of foreign suppliers (Bitzinger 2003, Dowdall 2004, Brooks 2005. American and European defence contractors have engaged in waves of mega-mergers to achieve the scope and scale needed to develop contemporary weapons systems (Neal & Taylor 2001, Braddon 2004, Defying Convergence Gates 2004. As a consequence, today's defence multinationals possess human and financial resources outstripping those of many medium-sized states.…”

“…The restructuring of the defense industry in the last 15 years represents one of the most dramatic industrial transformations in modern times (Wulf, 2001;Braddon, 2004). Both the general process of the globalization of defense business and the major forces driving change in that sector, noted above, have served to generate a structural revolution in the industry.…”

This paper provides an introductory background to the symposium on defense, security and the public finances. It outlines the recent dramatic transformation of both the global defense industry and the geo-political environment within which it has to operate. Within this, changing political, strategic and military strategies are reviewed and the principal factors driving change in the defense sector are explored. the paper reviews the consequences of the end of the Cold War and explores the impact of recent ethic conflict, the Iraq and Afghanistan developments and the terrorist threat. Additional forces driving change in defense are also considered; in particular, the so-called ‘revolution in military affairs’ and the widespread restructuring of the defense industrial base over the last decade and a half. Finally, budgetary response is discussed briefly before an overview of the papers contained in this symposium is presented.
