Public Policy towards the Aerospace and Defence

The book "Public Policy towards the Aerospace and Defence Industry in Germany" offers an in-depth exploration of German public policy concerning the aerospace and defense sectors following the reunification of Germany. It analyzes both the distinct characteristics and the progression of German public policy within theoretical and, most crucially, practical frameworks. The text highlights the critical importance and impact of sector-specific public policies, which encompass industrial and security strategies, on shaping the defense industry's role and the regulatory framework of Germany's security infrastructure. Further, it provides an assessment of these policies from the vantage point of major players in the aerospace and defense markets, such as Airbus S.E. The book also examines how public policy influences the significance of these industries within Germany's economy, their innovation levels, and their competitiveness on an international scale. Ultimately, it underscores that because the aerospace and defense sectors heavily rely on government contracts, collaboration between the private sector and public institutions is vital for their advancement and success.
