THE EUROPEAN ARMAMENTS MARKET AND PROCUREMENT COOPERATION

---

The principal purpose of this book is to analyse where the West
Europeans have succeeded or failed in their attempts at cooperation
in defence procurement, and why. This chapter aims to give some
political background to this analysis by looking, very selectively, at a
few of the pressures which exist for West European collaboration in
defence and security policy in general. Logically, the gradual
convergence of national policies on defence and East-West relations
ought to facilitate (although it would hardly guarantee) closer
cooperation in arms procurement. In addition, experience has shown
that the wider interests of West European countries in security
cooperation have been major reasons why they have sought to
collaborate on arms production. The history of the aborted FrancoGerman
tank, of the European Fighter Aircraft and of other joint
projects, particularly between France and the Federal Republic of
Germany (FRG), which are discussed in this book, is evidence.
