This book analyses UK defence as a complex, interdependent public-private enterprise covering politics, management, society, and technology, as well as the military.Building upon wide-ranging applied research, with extensive access to ministers, policy makers, senior military commanders, and industrialists, the book characterises British defence as a phenomenon that has endured extensive transformation this century. Looking at the subject afresh as a complex, extended enterprise involving politics, alliances, businesses, skills, economics, military practices, and citizens, the authors profoundly reshape our understanding of ‘defence’ and how it is to be commissioned and delivered in a world dominated by geopolitical risks and uncertainties. The book makes the case that this new understanding of defence must inevitably lead to new policies and processes to ensure its health and vitality.This book will be of much interest to students of defence studies, British politics, and military and strategic studies, as well as policy makers and practitioners.

European Defence Cooperation (1984) considers the varied elements of European defence cooperation and the obstacles to further development of a European pillar within NATO. It argues that closer cooperation would alleviate several problems, including differences between the US and Europe; public unease about defence policies; and constraints on defence expenditure. With references to four areas (nuclear weapons and strategy, arms control, conventional forces and out-of-area activities) it discusses the prospects for increased cooperation, and makes proposals for changes in policy and in institutional arrangements.

The relationship between government and the businesses that contribute towards the defence and security of the state is a critical one; it often underscores a modern state’s foreign policy and sense of place in the world. Yet, despite its clear importance, this subject is underexplored and rarely analysed in a rigorous manner. As a consequence, government defence industrial policies, if they exist at all, often seem somewhat contrived, ill-considered and contradictory. The Defence Industrial Triptych systematically analyses the components and drivers of the relationships that bind a government to its defence industrial base by examining three major case studies: the UK, US and Germany, who between them account for over three quarters of NATO defence spending. The features of their defence industrial relationships –whether common or unique – provide vital lessons for policy-makers, industrialists and the taxpayer. As defence cuts bite across NATO and as the UK approaches the 2015 Strategic Defence and Security Review, the relationships this Whitehall Paper considers are more important than ever.
