Abstract

Arms transfers have an important political value, suggesting numerous security agreements or alliances between the seller and the buyer. Government control is therefore necessarily exercised, since in this type of transaction, dependency relationships are often long-term, based on trust. For France, a model is constructed to analyse the influence of arms exports on employment, investment or economic growth. Without knowing exactly which arms sales were "in the end" not paid for, the model shows that the need for the growth of the French economy to maintain a strong position in arms exports has not been demonstrated, quite the contrary. This choice may be prompted by the arms industries, but it can only be truly validated in political and strategic terms.
