Synopsis

Security, Strategy, and the Global Economics of Defence Production features contributions from a broad range of policy analysts and practitioners in Canada and the United Kingdom whose primary concern is to identify and analyse the major challenges that Ottawa and London will be facing in the coming decade. Among the issues and challenges considered are understanding the changing nature of threat and risk to security interests, devising appropriate means of harnessing and responding to technological change in warfare, and assessing the relative merits of regional defence-industrial groupings as opposed to trans-Atlantic arrangements. The contributors also discuss developments in policy respecting the procurement and export of arms as well as the enhancement of the quality of bilateral defence cooperation and trade.
