Defence Procurement And Industry Policy by Stefan Markowski,Peter Hall,Robert Wylie Pdf
Defence procurement remains a relatively under-researched area, mostly focusing on the USA. This revealing book looks at defence procurement from the point of view of smaller countries such as Israel, Australia, Poland and Spain.
Prioritizing Defence Industry Capabilities by Craig Stone,University of Calgary. School of Public Policy Pdf
This paper argues that Canada has much to learn from the Australian's on how to reform both its defense procurement process and relationship with defense industry. Craig Stone, Director of Academics with the Canadian Forces College, examines Australia's approach to establishing a defense industry policy with a set of Priority Industry Capabilities and how that policy connects with military procurement in order to identify those lessons that might be useful for Canada.
Defence procurement in Canada is a mess, with hundreds of millions of dollars being routinely wasted, despite which the Canadian Armed Forces is woefully underequipped and lacking crucial capacity. Charlie Foxtrot shows why past governments failed so spectacularly to efficiently equip and manage the CAF, and how to change that.

Procurement and Politics by Andrea Migone,Alexander Howlett,Michael Howlett Pdf
This open access book compares the experiences of large-scale military procurement in Canada and Australia. Focusing on the recent frigate and jet-fighter programmes, it demonstrates how delays suffered in delivering weapons systems and platforms in these countries have been caused by misalignments between the strategic requirements set out by the armed forces and government defence policies. By bringing the insights of public management and administration to those of defence studies, the book presents policy options that will help improve the nature of future large-project military procurement. It will appeal to scholars and students of public administration, public management, and defence studies, as well as practitioners and policymakers.
Canadian Defence Policy in Theory and Practice by Thomas Juneau,Philippe Lagassé,Srdjan Vucetic Pdf
This edited volume provides a comprehensive overview of contemporary debates and issues in Canadian defence policy studies. The contributors examine topics including the development of Canadian defence policy and strategic culture, North American defence cooperation, gender and diversity in the Canadian military, and defence procurement and the defence industrial base. Emphasizing the process of defence policy-making, rather than just the outcomes of that process, the book focuses on how political and organizational interests impact planning, as well as the standard operating procedures that shape Canadian defence policy and practices.
Canada's Defence Procurement Woes by Jeffrey F. Collins Pdf
This book challenges the perceived underlying causes and culprits of the ongoing challenges in Canadian defence procurement, arguing that although headlines often put the blame on the political leadership, the defence procurement bureaucracy, ongoing pressures in the defence industry and continuous demands placed on Canada though its alliances also carry a large part of the responsibility. Focusing on four main case studies: the Fixed Wing Search and Rescue Plane, the Joint Support Ships, the Medium Support Vehicle System and the Halifax Class Modernization, the author offers a comparative analysis of how these ongoing procurement efforts were dealt with by different administrations, from Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin to Stephen Harper.
Defence Procurement by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons. Defence Committee Pdf
The Committee's findings include that the Smart Acquisition procurement programme, introduced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in 1998, has failed to deliver on almost all counts. In 2002-03, the top 20 defence equipment projects experienced in-year cost increases totalling £3.1 billion, as well as time delays on promised delivery dates. The head of the Defence Procurement Agency has found that only one of the seven principles underlying Smart Acquisition has been implemented in full, and a fundamental overhaul of the initiative has been announced. On specific projects, the Committee's findings include that the in-service date for Eurofighter/Typhoon was achieved during 2003, a total of 54 months late; and an assessment phase contract for the Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) is to be placed at the end of the year, although there are concerns that the in-service date of 2009 is unrealistic.

Technology Offsets in International Defence Procurement by Kogila Balakrishnan Pdf
Technology offsets, a nonconventional international trade-financing tool, is used by governments (buyers) to obtain industrial and technological benefits from companies (sellers) as part of international procurement. Offsets deals involve billions of dollars and this practice exists in around 80 countries around the world. Though offsets is a popular practice in defence, it is increasingly gaining popularity in civil sectors. Offsets is often tainted by controversy and receives bad press. What then makes offsets popular? Governments claim that offsets delivers technology and knowledge transfer, skills in high technology sectors and employment, and offsets expands export opportunities through participation in OEM supply chains. For companies, offsets is mainly employed as a tool to obtain a competitive edge and win sales in international business. In the past, there have been mixed results of case studies on the impact of offsets successes and failures. Considering the mismanagement of globalisation, unfair trade agreements and current political and economic discontent, there is a stronger need for governments and companies to use vehicles such as offsets to create a relationship of trust and commitment for sustainable development. This book fills the gap in offsets and focuses on how to manage offsets more effectively by addressing issues of strategy, policy and implementation, technology management, governance and risk. Technology Offsets in International Defence Procurement is designed for those studying international procurement, international trade, international business, technology management, defence policy and industrial policy. This book will also be of interest to practitioners and policy makers in both government and industry.
Defense Procurement In The Federal Republic Of Germany by Regina H.E. Cowen Pdf
First published in 1986. Based on the theme that defense procurement serves as an instrument of alliance and domestic politics, this book provides the first comprehensive analysis of post-war West German approaches to and experience with procurement strategies. Dr. Cowen explores how successive German governments have used military procurement to facilitate the rehabilitation of the new West German state and later to consolidate the German position within the alliance. The author shows that by the mid-1970s the Federal Republic had succeeded in its procurement policy, acting as a serious partner for defense projects in Europe and building a flourishing defense industry. The book's final chapters describe the structural tensions between competing procurement objectives that have recently emerged. The FRG must decide whether to continue to maintain a whole range of defense industrial capacities or to specialize nationally and purchase other necessary commodities in the United States. According to the author, national specialization is not seriously considered by the German government. Such a step, the author suggests, would diminish Germany's role in the alliance and jeopardize one of its foremost foreign policy goals: equality with Great Britain and France

Security, Strategy and the Global Economics of Defence Production by Queen's University (Kingston, Ont.). School of Policy Studies Pdf
As the recent fighting in Serbia illustrates, the technology of modern warfare is in constant evolution, with implications spanning a wide range of public policy areas - from the broad dimensions of alliance strategy to the specific confines of defence investment, production, and trade. For the past several years, technological innovation in the arms industry of the world's leading states has been proceeding in relation to the phenomenon of "globalisation" in the civilian sector. Although the combined impact of the postulated "revolution in military affairs" and the globalisation of industry has been felt in all Western states, it has been of particular concern in two NATO countries - Canada and the United Kingdom - as each is located on the margins of a continental market in defence goods. Both have established a set of privileged linkages and interests with this market although they have retained a certain strategic, political, and economic "distance." 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 co-operation and trade. David G. Haglund is director of the Centre for International Relations, Queen's University. S. Neil MacFarlane is director for the Centre of International Studies and Lester B.

Defence Industrial Cooperation in the European Union by Daniel Fiott Pdf
This book provides an empirical understanding of how EU-level defence industrial cooperation functions in practice. Using the Liberal Intergovernmental theoretical model, the book argues that while national economic preferences are an essential factor of government interests they only explain part of the dynamic that leads to the development of defence industrial policy at EU level. Moving beyond a simple adumbration of economic preferences, it shows how the EU’s institutional framework and corpus of law are used by governments to reaffirm their position as the ultimate arbiter and promoter of national economic preferences in the defence industrial sector. To this end, the work asks why and how EU member state governments, European defence firms, and EU institutions developed EU-level defence industrial policy between 2003 and 2009. The book also analyses significant policy developments, including the establishment of a European Defence Agency and two EU Directives on equipment transfers and defence procurement. This book will be of much interest to students of EU policy, defence studies, security studies and International Relations in general.

Reinventing Canadian Defence Procurement by Alan S. Williams,Queen's University (Kingston, Ont.). School of Policy Studies,Breakout Educational Network Pdf
In a comprehensive study of the defence-procurement environment and the legislative and regulatory framework that governs the process, Alan Williams argues that an inoperable procurement process has led to the near disarmament of the Canadian Forces, the collapse of national defence policy, and a system compromised by bureaucracy and conflicting interests. The only way to fix these problems, says Williams, is to completely reinvent the system of defence procurement, from the roles of various people and organizations to the process itself. Williams also examines questions surrounding efficiency, accountability, and the motivations of politicians and bureaucrats in defence spending. He provides an exhaustive examination of a complex and vital process - a virtual roadmap for a reconstruction that would allow Canada's defence spending to support national security and the Canadian Forces.
