Economic Restructuring, National Strategies, and the Defense Industry in Newly Industrializing States

This chapter addresses the impact of economic reform on military-industrial complexes in the industrializing world. The author discusses the impact of internationalization across industrial sectors and takes into account the resulting political effects of that impact. He identifies two ideal-typical coalitions - internationalist and backlash - with differing preferences over domestic and international resource extraction and allocation, in their time-horizons, and in their orientations toward regional and international behavior.
