About this title

Synopsis

This study is a comparative analysis of the arms procurement decision-making processes in five countries. It examines whether or not national arms procurement processes, even as they involve sensitive security issues and complex systems, can become more responsive to the broader objectives of security and public accountability. The country case studies are based to a large extent on original research papers written by experts from the respective national academic and defense procurement communities.
