Synopsis

This report examines the defence industries in Central and Eastern Europe as they attempt to restructure in the wake of changes brought about by the end of the cold war and downward trends in both military expenditure and arms exports.
Separate chapters examine the developing military doctrines in Central and Eastern Europe, the trend in military expenditure, the nature of the efforts to restructure the defence industries, the international dimensions of industrial restructuring and the role of arms exports.
Finally, the book attempts to relate the on-going process of defence industrial restructuring into the context of an overall economic structural adjustment that is now underway in the countries under study.

Review:

`There is ... much of interest in this book.'
Global Security

`It is ... a testimony to the authors that, despite the problems of research in this area the reader is presented with a clear, lucid and thoughtful analysis of the conditions facing CandE European defence industries and the trends that are emerging ... This brief summary ... does not really
catch the full flavour of the book which offers a depth of statistical information which is equally matched by the breadth of the analysis. It will, and should become a standard text for both students and lecturers.'
Contemporary Security Policy

`the book is full of valuable facts, tables, figures about the situation in the region's defence industry, and well-founded suggestions concerning the future of the defence industry in Eastern Europe.'
European Security, vol.6, no.1, Spring 1997
