Abstract:

The article considers a brief history of the development of the Turkish military-industrial sector. Attention is paid to its current state, defined as a major technological breakthrough in the development and creation of complex systems of various types of weapons on the territory of Turkey. The security issues faced by Ankara in the period following the “Arab Spring”, the increased attacks by terrorist organizations, the geopolitical uncertainty caused by the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq and Afghanistan, forced the Turkish authorities to reconsider their approaches to the internal security of the state, shifting the emphasis from threats emanating from Turkey itself to the challenges posed by its origin is outside the Turkish territory. Such a rapid shift in the focus of potential and real threats to Turkey from national borders to adjacent (and remote) territories of neighboring states required the application of efforts and resources significantly exceeding the previous ones. That became a reason for the rapid development of the Turkish militaryindustrial complex, in which Turkey’s membership in NATO played a major role, providing Ankara with the necessary technological solutions, without which the further modernization of national “defense” would not be so successful. Having gone beyond providing its armed forces with the modern logistical means, Ankara is gradually turning into one of the major exporters of military products whereas commercial arms exports are becoming one of Turkey’s foreign policy priorities.

Abstract:

Like many modern historians’ concepts, the notion of political culture comes to us from the social sciences, especially anthropology and political science. One assumes that political culture is a term familiar to most readers. The term metropolitan-military complex may require some explanation. I coined the phrase some years ago when undertaking a study of San Francisco politics. At the time, the inquiry was fairly conventional. Yet as I worked through the struggles over municipal services, labor and management problems, political structure, mass transit, minorities, parties, reformers, bosses, and so forth, the role of the military loomed ever larger. The longer the military was investigated, the more important that role appeared to be. Eventually, I changed the focus of my study from politics, conventionally defined, to the relationship between cities and the military. President Dwight D. Eisenhower used the term military-industrial complex in his 1961 farewell address to describe an alliance among technicians, congressmen, bureaucrats, military men, and businessmen. He did not define his words rigorously, but he left the definite impression that the military-industrial complex (MIC) was national in scope and something close to a conspiracy on behalf of greater defense spending. The president also implied that the MIC had only recently appeared. Subsequent commentators on the subject have largely followed this approach, stressing the importance of conspiracy, militarism, Washington bureaucrats, big business, and big congressmen. They have also accepted the World War II or cold war origins of the alliance as well as its national scope.

Abstract:

The purpose of the paper is two-fold : first, to analyse conversion problems in producing civilian goods by the military industrial complex of the former Soviet Union ; second, to discuss industrial enterprise reform in Russia in the context of conversion. Russia has now inherited the bulk of the Soviet MIC whose output could be almost 20 per cent of gross industrial output of the country. After a brief history of conversion, the discussion centers around the problems of and prospects for enterprise reforms in Russia. Policy options are analyzed with particular reference to the relation between the defence complex and market reforms currently under way. It is claimed that the monopolistic structure of the industries, slated for conversion, could be a major impediment to the reform process. Demonopolization is called for but this is not well integrated with the existing conversion plans. Thus there is an inherent contradiction in the model of conversion and unless this is resolved the reforms will be affected adversely. Overemphasizing the benefits of conversion, and building false expectations on such perceived benefits without more fundamental structural changes, could be counterproductive. Any foreign resource transfer, except possibly FDI, could be counterproductive and an incentive for not proceeding with painful structural reforms.

Abstract:

Between the late 1940s and mid-1960s, American organized labor emerged among the most enthusiastic supporters of the military–industrial complex. This study examines that emerging relationship, focusing on the efforts of a group of unionists to mold defense spending into a vehicle for promoting employment and addressing social and economic problems.During the Korean War, labor representatives drafted, lobbied for, and helped administration Defense Manpower Policy #4, a policy channeling defense spending to areas suffering high rates of unemployment. With the advent of the Eisenhower administration, preferential policies fell by the wayside, but organized labor continued to press, with some success for defense spending as a general antidote to economic downturns. Late in the 1950s, the Construction Trades Department of Congress of Industrial Organizations and the American Federation of Labor (AFL-CIO), reacting to double-digit unemployment in their ranks, became an active promoter of fallout shelter construction.Despite some initial success in reimplementing preferential policies during the early months of the Kennedy administration, organized labor's defense agenda quickly ran afoul of Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara's plans to systematize and rationalize the defense sector.In the end, resistance from military and business leaders greatly impeded labor's progress. At the very least, however, labor's defense agenda reflects a larger social vision and also suggests the very real attraction to many unionists of the military–industrial complex, a malleable economic realm, open to political influence and somewhat removed from the harsh forces of the market.

Abstract:

The study examines the key features and areas of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government’s policy aimed at boosting the export of weapons, military and special equipment (WMSE) within the broader strategy of reforming the Indian military-industrial complex (MIC). The long-term goal of the Indian government is to achieve “strategic autonomy” in the defence sector. In the short term, Indian arms exports serve as the driving force behind the “Make in India” and “Self-reliant India” programmes - pivotal components of Prime Minister Modi’s political agenda. The significant amplification factor for India’s export ambitions has been conditioned in part by the escalating border tensions with China since 2017. The export of WMSE is emerging as a crucial tool to strengthen India’s bilateral relations with countries in the Asia-Pacific region to counterbalance China. Nonetheless, to propel India into the group of the world’s leading arms exporters, as well as to gain full “strategic independence,” may be hard to achieve even in the long run. Despite systemic reforms in the military-industrial complex, efforts to engage private businesses and attract foreign capital, a number of challenges impede the growth of the defence industry and the export potential of the Indian military-industrial complex. These include the inadequate development of India’s manufacturing sector, dependency on foreign technologies, and insufficient funding for military-technical advancements. At the same time, the policy of supporting defence exports and reforming the MIC has been a stable trend in the strategy of the BJP government, playing a crucial role in the fulfillment of its short, medium and long term goals.

Abstract:

Despite the attention given by scholars to the military-industrial complex few studies have attempted to pinpoint and explain its origin. In this paper we argue that the coalescing of business, military, and political interest groups in support of a military build-up in the United States during peacetime occurred in the years between the Civil War and World War I. It was during this period that we observe the roots of institutional arrangements between the military and industry for the purpose of large-scale weapons acquisitions.

Abstract:

In the article it is presented an analytical analysis of research on the problems of the development of domestic military-industrial complex, the history of weapons and military equipment. At the same time, dissertations (candidates’ and doctoral) as well as monographic works of St. Petersburg (Leningrad) scientists have been emphasized specially in this analysis. The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of conducted research and, on this basis, to determine the most promising directions for further research in the designated area of scientific activity. To achieve this goal the following tasks should be solved: clarification of the objective prerequisites of starting the investigation of the regional military-industrial complex of Leningrad-St. Petersburg history; identification of the initiators and leaders of these studies in the post-Soviet period as well as the main centers of conducting these studies; coverage of research topics in various historical specialties and branches of science; showing the different forms of scientific research organization and conduct in the designated area; formulation of the most significant scientific results obtained by St. Petersburg (Leningrad) scientists in the course of their research. As a result of the analytical analysisit has been shown the names of the most prominent researchers of the subject as well as the universities of St. Petersburg, where special attention was paid to the development of the most interesting problems, conditions were created for defending dissertations, primarily by forming dissertation councils on historical scientific specialties and branches of sciences (domestic history, history of science and technology, military history). The quantitative and qualitative results of the studies conducted by scientists of St. Petersburg within the framework of the indicated problems for the period from the beginning of the 1990s to the end of the 2010s have been clarified. The scope of the obtained significant scientific resultsaffecting various aspects of the origin, formation and development of the regional military-industrial complex in Leningrad-St. Petersburg is outlined. It has been made the conclusion about the informal scientific and historical school of St. Petersburg established to solve the problems considered in the article, has been shown the main directions of research conducted within the framework of this scientific school as well as the existing potential of such research in the form of dissertation works being prepared for defense.

Abstract:

The purpose of the research paper is to investigate the collaboration between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and African nations in the military domain, examining the impact of ideological, socio-economic, international, and other elements. Scientific novelty. Based on documents and historiographical materials, the study analyzes the stages of development, characteristics, and content of the PRC’s military cooperation with African countries. Conclusions. The PRC’s with African countries has gone through a long and complex path. The first stage (late 1950s – mid-1970s) coincided with the rise of national liberation struggles in Africa, and China’s involvement had an ideological character. The second stage, (late 1970s – 1990s) witnessed a transition to commercialization, but faced limitations due to resource constraints, low-quality weaponry, and concerns about relations with Western investors. However, cooperation with Western corporations to modernize the military-industrial complex and develop new weapons was disrupted by the events in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Instead, cooperation with Russia in the defense field intensified, which allowed China to update the military-industrial complex and develop new weapons systems. However, due to their low quality, they did not stand up to competition, particularly in the African arms market. From the mid-1990s, China involved European and American corporations in modernization process, under the condition of potential export opportunities. The third stage of cooperation began in the early 2000s and continues to this day. China has significantly expanded its military cooperation with African countries through various military training programs, participation in international arms exhibitions, arms loans, military equipment sales, and involvement in UN peacekeeping missions. Deepening military cooperation strengthens China’s position in Africa and increases its competitive advantage not only in the African arms market.

Abstract:

Poison gas warfare was initiated in the Great War by a German military unit that included five future Nobel laureates: James Franck, Fritz Haber, Otto Hahn, Gustav Hertz and Walther Nernst. It was Haber's idea to use poison gas. To implement gas warfare he devised an organization that meshed the academy into the military–industrial complex. Later three other Nobel laureates, Emil Fischer, Heinrich Wieland and Richard Willstätter, contributed to the enterprise. Huge quantities of poisons were used by both sides during the war, because they were well adapted to static trench warfare, even though—which is a surprise to many—they were substantially less deadly than explosives.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the development of the Ural Optical-Mechanical Plant (UOMZ) in the conditions of transition to late industrial modernization. The relevance of the problem under consideration is due to the presence of some analogies between the patterns of the period of transition to late industrial modernization in the USSR and the current trends of the formation of a post-industrial society. The characteristic features of the socio-economic development in the period under study were the science intensity of production, the creation of new materials, military-technical progress, and the development of the space industry. The authors proceeded from the principles of modernization theory. Research methods of high priority were historical-comparative, narrative, causal, problem-chronological. After the war, Plant No. 217 (since 1964 — Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant) produced optical devices for the military-industrial complex, the space industry, aviation, and construction. Some of the enterprise’s products were exported. The plant reached the level of the fourth technological order on the basis of conveyor mechanized and automated production. In the second half of the 1940s — middle 1960s, the plant, as part of the scientific and industrial cluster of the region, mastered new technologies: the manufacture of glassintensive devices and optoelectronic devices of the laser rangefinder family, new methods of glass casting. UOMZ developed cooperation with scientific and educational institutions of the industry, design bureaus, the USSR Academy of Sciences, design and technological institutions.

Abstract:

The article analyzes the process of changing the content of the frontier over time, under the influence of radical liberal reforms. The development of the borderlands in dynamics is shown, taking into account the foreign policy factor. The vector of changes is revealed within the framework of the economic component and the mission of the Far East in modern national history and in the history of the development of Asia-Pacific Region (APR). A complex of political factors in the transformation of the frontier is revealed. It was concluded that the main feature of this process was various forms of reducing Russia’s military presence in the region, partial demilitarization and the destruction of the military-industrial complex in the 1990s, and the acquisition of new characteristics by the Far Eastern borderlands. The authors come to the conclusion about the dominant role of the political factor in the transformation of the character of the Far Eastern frontier. Conversion and market reforms led to a rapid degradation of the material and social infrastructure of the frontier territories, where in the 1990s the military-industrial complex enterprises were city-forming. The ways of adapting the region to market relations turned the border area into a kind of trading factory; various flows of labor and different forms of organization of enterprises were involved. The first attempts to organize Free Economic Zones and joint ventures, as well as to implement the initial stage of the project of international transport corridors, contributed to the genesis of new features of the Far Eastern frontier.
