"Defence Procurement and Industry Policy: A Small Country Perspective" by ed. Stefan Markowski, Peter Hall and Robert Wylie

This volume presents a general framework for understanding smaller country defence procurement supported by country, industry and project studies.

The book addresses the needs of public and private sector managers, military planners, procurement specialists, industry policy-makers, and defence procurement and industry educators. It presents general principles in an accessible manner and points to real-world experience to illustrate the principles at work.

Part I provides a general framework for analysing smaller country defence procurement, focusing on the formation of national defence capabilities. The framework is then used to analyse issues around the development of procurement demand, the characteristics of defence industry supply, contracts and relationships between buyers and sellers, and government policy for defence procurement and industry development.
Part II focuses on defence procurement in seven smaller industrial nations with widely varying historical and political settings (Australia, Canada, Israel, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and The Netherlands).
Part III consists of two Australian case studies of the procurement issues raised in, respectively, the naval shipbuilding industry and a major, complex defence project.
