Abstract
Globalization is a crucial issue for the US defence industry because it entails considerations of national security and of military technological leadership over the world (US Congress, 1990). In this chapter I will show that these two issues have inhibited the globalization of this industry since 1945. More precisely, using the Politics of Industry approach, I will explain how its institutional architecture established during the Cold War has produced irreversible rules for the national mode of producing and selling military equipment.
