Public Policy and the Creation of a European Arms Market

In: The European Armaments Market and Procurement Cooperation

Abstract

For a variety of reasons, the European countries have considered joint procurement of military equipment and European armaments cooperation as desirable but usually secondary aims since the mid-1950s. The military usefulness of interoperable or standardised materiel, the political mileage derived from common projects like Franco-German programmes and the consequences of economies of scale, are some of the reasons which have always been, and no doubt will continue to be, invoked in favour of a European (or Atlantic) dimension of the arms market.
