  • Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: the Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries
    Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: The Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries March 1995 OTA-BP-ISS-143 GPO stock #052-003-01408-4 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, Other Approaches to Civil-Military Integration: The Chinese and Japanese Arms Industries, BP-ISS-143 (Washington, DC: U.S. Government Printing Office, March 1995). Foreword s part of its assessment of the potential for integrating the civil and military industrial bases, the Office of Technology Assessment con- sidered how the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Japan, two Asian states with sizable defense industries, have succeeded in Aachieving significant levels of civil-military integration (CMI). CMI involves the sharing of fixed costs by promoting the use of common technologies, processes, labor, equipment, material, and/or facilities. CMI can not only lower costs, but in some cases, it can also expedite the introduction of advanced commercial products and processes to the defense sector. The paper is divided into two sections, one on the PRC and one on Japan. Each section describes the structure and management of the respective defense industrial base and then compares it with its U.S. counterpart. The paper then assesses the degree to which lessons from the PRC and Japanese cases can be applied to the U.S. defense technology and industrial base (DTIB). Although the political and security situations of the PRC and Japan, as well as their CMI objectives, differ from those of the United States, several interest- ing observations can be made. The Japanese, for example, with a limited de- fense market and an American security guarantee, emphasize dual-use design as well as the commercial aspects of many defense developments.

  • Ethical Issues in the Global Arms Industry
    draft: March 7, 2015 Michael Davis, Illinois Institute of Technology Ethical Issues in the Global Arms Industry: A Role for Engineers Ethical Dilemmas in the Global Defense Industry Conference University of Pennsylvania Law School Philadelphia, April 16, 2015 This paper has four parts. The first two seek to clarify the subject of this conference, ethical issues in the global arms industry. The third sketches the role engineers have in much of the global arms industry. The last part considers one way that engineers might help with resolving some of the industry’s ethical issues. While the first part of this paper should contain few surprises, the last three will, I hope, contain more. 1. Dilemmas and Defense Let me begin with two differences between the official title of this conference and the title of my paper. First, I have substituted “issues” for “dilemmas”. Second, I have substituted “arms” for “defense”. The purpose of these changes is to avoid unnecessary disputes rather than to change the subject of the conference. Let me explain. A “dilemma” is a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two (or more) equally undesirable alternatives.1 If the alternatives were not equally undesirable, the choice would be easy: choose the more desirable alternative. There would be no dilemma (though the choice might, like most good choices, have its cost). My impression is that the main ethical issues, questions, problems, or quandaries posed by the global arms industry are not dilemmas (in this sense) but complex situations in which most of the choices on offer are hard to assess and many of the best choices have yet to be devised.

  • The Arms Industry and Increasingly Autonomous Weapons
    Slippery Slope The arms industry and increasingly autonomous weapons www.paxforpeace.nl Reprogramming War This report is part of a PAX research project on the development of lethal autonomous weapons. These weapons, which would be able to kill people without any direct human involvement, are highly controversial. Many experts warn that they would violate fundamental legal and ethical principles and would be a destabilising threat to international peace and security. In a series of four reports, PAX analyses the actors that could potentially be involved in the development of these weapons. Each report looks at a different group of actors, namely states, the tech sector, the arms industry, and universities and research institutes. The present report focuses on the arms industry. Its goal is to inform the ongoing debate with facts about current developments within the defence sector. It is the responsibility of companies to be mindful of the potential applications of certain new technologies and the possible negative effects when applied to weapon systems. They must also clearly articulate where they draw the line to ensure that humans keep control over the use of force by weapon systems. If you have any questions regarding this project, please contact Daan Kayser ([email protected]).

  • Politics, Power, and Influence: Defense Industries in the Post-Cold
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Politics, Power, and Influence: Defense Industries in the Post-Cold War João Carlos Gonçalves dos Reis 1,2,3 1 Industrial Engineering and Management, Faculty of Engineering, Lusofona University, Campo Grande, 1749-024 Lisbon, Portugal; [email protected] 2 CISD Research Unit, Military University Institute, Rua de Pedrouços, 1449-027 Lisbon, Portugal 3 Department of Economics, Management, Industrial Engineering and Tourism, GOVCOPP, Aveiro University, Campus Universitário de Santiago, 3810-193 Aveiro, Portugal Abstract: The post-Cold War era is placing the defense industry at a crossroads. If, on the one hand, it is under great pressure to guarantee warlike efforts around the world, with tight budgets and uncertain lead-times, on the other hand, it is seen as a central instrument for national sovereignty and foreign policy. The purpose of this research is to report the state-of-the-art of the existing literature and explore the most relevant research areas in order to provide the conceptual basis for further empirical research. To do so, this study uses a preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), which is an adequate technique as it allows one to discover concepts, ideas, and debates about the defense industry. The results evidenced three different approaches to the defense industry—integration, autarky, and domination. In that regard, we present several case studies in which the defense industry is used as an instrument of foreign policy or national sovereignty. Future studies may focus on empirical research to validate the theoretical findings or to identify variables that lead some defense industries to seek synergies, resorting to mergers and acquisitions, while other defense companies prefer to obtain State funds.
