Description

Explore the transformation of defence industries and the outsourcing of military services to private contractors. This comprehensive study examines how military functions-from research and consulting to operational support-have been privatised across the US and Europe since the early 1990s. Published by Routledge, this detailed analysis links technological change to the growing trend of defence asset privatisation, offering current insights into how armed forces now rely on the private sector for critical military operations. Essential reading for understanding modern military-industrial relationships and the implications of outsourcing defence capabilities.

Covers the full range of outsourced military functions including research, consulting, training and operational support services.

Examines defence industry transformation from the early 1990s to present day, tracing technological and contractual evolution.
