Title
State-defence industry relations in the European context : French and UK interactions with the European Defence Agency
Author
Abstract
While many have noted that EU member states have different preferences over the prospect of an integrated EU defence, analyses that specifically explore state-industry relations in the definition of EU defence-industrial issues, and in the evolution of the Common Security and Defence Policy in general, are lacking. This is surprising, given that different configurations of government-industry relations have represented a persistent impediment to European defence-industrial cross-border collaboration. This article investigates how state-defence industry relations impact on member states' preferences towards the EU defence-industrial framework. Based on the case studies of the interaction of France and the UK with the European Defence Agency, this analysis focuses on the difference between public and private defence firms' governance settings as the crucial explanatory variable accounting for diverging member states' preferences in this domain.
