Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defense offsets have gained increasing attention in recent years because of the potential impact they may have on the U.S. economy and national security. Defense offsets are the full range of industrial and commercial benefits that firms provide to foreign governments as inducements or conditions for the purchase of military goods and services. They include, for example coproduction arrangements and subcontracting, technology transfers, in-country procurements, marketing and financial assistance, and joint ventures. Views on the effects of offsets are divided between those who believe they are an unavoidable part of doing business overseas and those who believe they negatively affect the U.S. industrial base. In 1984 and again in 1999, the Congress placed data collection and reporting requirements on the administration in an attempt to obtain information as a basis for an analysis of the impact of offsets on the U.S. industrial base. On June 29, 1999, you chaired a hearing to discuss concerns raised by opponents of offsets and explore both sides of the issue. As a result of that hearing, you asked us to review the administration's data collection and policy coordination efforts concerning offsets. Accordingly, you asked us to determine (1) the number of federal agencies collecting data on offsets and the type of data they collect and (2) the extent of coordination among federal agencies for data collection and policymaking related to offsets.

Download or read book Defense trade lessons to be learned from the country export exemption written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To control the export of defense items, the U.S. government generally requires exporters to obtain a license from the State Department. However, a license is not required for the export of many defense items to Canada. Currently, the Canadian exemption is the only country-specific exemption to the licensing requirement. The exemption was temporarily scaled back when unauthorized re-exports and diversions to nations of concern occurred. It was renegotiated and changes were made in an attempt to address security concerns. In May 2000, the U.S. government announced the Defense Trade Security Initiative, which included a proposal to grant Canadian-like export licensing exemptions to other qualified countries. Since the initiative was announced, the State Department has been negotiating such exemptions with the United Kingdom and Australia. Because the exemption for Canada may serve as the model for these and other countries, you asked that we review how the exemption has been implemented and enforced and whether the experience offers any lessons learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Gov't. controls the export of defense-related items to minimize the security risk such exports may pose. The U.S. export control system is primarily divided between two regulatory regimes, one managed by the State Dept. for defense items & another managed by the Commerce Dept. for dual-use items that have both mil. & commercial applications. Determining which dep't. has jurisdiction over an item & how that item is controlled is fundamental to the U.S. export control system. This report assesses how gov't. departments assist co's. in determining the proper controls for defense-related items, specifically: (1) how Commerce implements the commodity classification process; & (2) how State implements the commodity jurisdiction process.

Download or read book Arms Trade and Economic Development written by Jurgen Brauer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Countries that spend scarce resources to import arms from abroad often require arms sellers to 'reinvest' part or all of the proceeds back into the arms-importing country. These so-called 'arms trade offsets' are therefore thought to enhance domestic economic development. But does this process actually succeed? This book examines the theory and policy applications of arms trade offsets and looks at more than a dozen case studies drawn from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The chapters, based on original research and published here for the first time, are all written by leading experts. That an impressive, lucid and cohesive volume such as this will interest defence economists can be taken almost for granted. The book will also be a useful and enlightening read for those interested in international development economics, military studies and policy-makers across the globe.

Book excerpt: "The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
