The regulatory framework concerning defense procurement has evolved considerably since the start of the millennium. In addition to the general Public Procurement Directive and the Defense Procurement Directive, the European Commission recently formulated a proposal for a Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). Nonetheless, defense sector particularities continue to produce tensions in public procurement, and significant blind spots remain.In view of policy objectives to strengthen the European Defense Technological & Industrial Base (EDTIB), it is necessary to first study the current state of EU defense procurement. To that end, we perform an analysis of 14,207 EU27-tenders spanning the period 2009-2020. In addition, a case study approach investigates six tender procedures by the Belgian military, establishing material points of note.Key insights include: (1) the number of defense procurement procedures won by third country bidders is limited, (2) tenders won by non-EU27-tenderers are larger and less competitive on average, and (3) an overly strong focus on price efficiency in public procurement award procedures inhibits attaining EDTIB goals. In short, the data shows a chasm between stated policy aims of strengthening the EDTIB through positive action in public procurement, on the one hand, and public procurement practices, on the other.
自本世纪初以来,国防采购的监管框架发生了重大变化。除了《一般公共采购指令》和《国防采购指令》外,欧盟委员会最近还制定了《外国补贴条例》(FSR)提案。尽管如此,国防部门的特殊性继续造成公共采购的紧张局势,而且仍然存在重大盲点。鉴于加强欧洲国防技术与工业基地的政策目标,有必要首先研究欧盟国防采购的现状。为此,我们对2009-2020年期间14207份欧盟27国投标书进行了分析。此外,案例研究方法调查了比利时军方的六项招标程序,确定了重要的注意事项。关键见解包括:(1)第三国投标人赢得的国防采购程序数量有限,(2)非欧盟27国投标人赢得的投标规模较大,平均竞争力较低,(3)公共采购授予程序过于注重价格效率,阻碍了EDTIB目标的实现。简言之,数据显示,通过公共采购中的积极行动加强EDTIB的既定政策目标与公共采购实践之间存在差距。

This article investigates the changes in the defense industrial base (DIB) of the small NATO post-communist countries: Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It considers the historical development of their industries from the Soviet era and the developments caused by the Crimea and Ukraine conflicts. It finds that exports to the markets of the former communist Czechoslovakia continued for Czechia with the DIB owned and controlled by oligarchs—who have been able to leverage this power to influence defense policy. In Slovakia, the DIB is insignificant and mainly under the influence of Czechia. The Hungarian DIB is being redeveloped by the richest members of Hungarian society, through international joint ventures, with the aim of expanding exports. The DIBs of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania produce only what is needed by their national armed forces—which seems unlikely to change.
本文调查了北约后共产主义小国的国防工业基础(DIB)的变化:捷克,斯洛伐克,匈牙利,立陶宛,拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚。它考虑了它们的工业从苏联时代的历史发展以及克里米亚和乌克兰冲突造成的发展。研究发现,在捷克投资银行由寡头拥有和控制的情况下,捷克继续向前共产主义国家捷克斯洛伐克的市场出口——这些寡头能够利用这种权力影响国防政策。在斯洛伐克,DIB是微不足道的,主要受捷克的影响。匈牙利投资银行正由匈牙利社会中最富有的成员通过国际合资企业重新发展,目的是扩大出口。爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛的dib只生产本国武装部队所需的产品,这一点似乎不太可能改变。

The future of cooperative programs in Europe, paradox of a hybrid market 欧洲合作项目的未来,混合市场的悖论

For European arms-producing countries, launching a cooperative program represents a compromise between preserving their domestic industrial base and achieving an affordable acquisition. Nevertheless, scientific literature is marred with criticisms regarding the effectiveness of such an approach. Paradoxically, this does not prevent European states from committing to new cooperative programs—the European Commission has set up mechanisms for improving the effectiveness of European defense industry based, de facto, on incentives to launch cooperative programs. This article looks at the place of cooperative programs in Europe to understand whether the new initiatives of the European Union can succeed in improving the effectiveness of military spending as well as enhancing European strategic autonomy. It analyzes the organization of the European armament market to explain why cooperative programs appear unavoidable. It explores how the European Commission could overcome current limitations through community-funded programs, given that such funding would foster the emergence of a European defense technological and industrial base.
对于欧洲武器生产国来说,启动合作计划代表着在保护其国内工业基础和实现负担得起的收购之间的妥协。然而,科学文献中却充斥着对这种方法有效性的批评。矛盾的是,这并没有阻止欧洲国家致力于新的合作计划——欧盟委员会已经建立了提高欧洲国防工业有效性的机制,事实上,这是基于启动合作计划的激励措施。本文着眼于合作计划在欧洲的地位,以了解欧盟的新举措能否成功提高军费开支的有效性以及增强欧洲的战略自主性。它分析了欧洲军备市场的组织,以解释为什么合作计划似乎不可避免。它探讨了欧盟委员会如何通过社区资助项目克服目前的限制,因为这种资助将促进欧洲国防技术和工业基础的出现。

The future of the European defense firm 欧洲防务公司的未来
IF 0.6 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2023-04-17 DOI: 10.15355/epsj.18.1.66
K. Hartley
The future European defense firm will be radically different, being determined by future threats, novel technology, and yet to come European defense policy. The immediate threat arises from the war in Ukraine, but longer-term European defense policy based on the Strategic Compass will provide the framework for the future European defense firm. Past developments offer some indication of the future and it is predicted that the defense firm has a future and will survive. The past trend of smaller numbers of larger defense firms will continue with firms being even more technologically-intensive—reflecting Augustine weapons systems, which are characterized by continuously rising unit costs and smaller volumes. There will be more mergers between European defense firms and more joint European projects developing and producing combat air and naval systems, tanks, and cyber systems.
未来的欧洲防务公司将完全不同,由未来的威胁、新技术和尚未出台的欧洲防务政策决定。迫在眉睫的威胁来自乌克兰战争,但基于战略指南针的长期欧洲防务政策将为未来的欧洲防务公司提供框架。过去的发展提供了一些未来的迹象,据预测,这家国防公司有未来,将生存下去。过去规模更大的国防公司数量更少的趋势将继续下去,这些公司将更加技术密集,这反映了奥古斯丁武器系统,其特点是单位成本不断上升,体积更小。欧洲防务公司之间将有更多的合并,欧洲将有更多的联合项目开发和生产作战空中和海军系统、坦克和网络系统。

Since 2016 the European Union has embarked on a step-change in the way it financially supports and incentivizes defense-industrial cooperation. The year 2022 will go down as another important moment in this process with the EU announcing a series of measures, such as joint defense procurement and joint planning and programming. Russia’s war on Ukraine has only underlined the importance of such steps, but it has also exposed the vulnerabilities of the European Defense Technological and Industrial Base. This article provides an account of the development of EU defense-industrial policy since Russia’s war on Ukraine and it critically engages with some of the challenges that have emerged for Europe’s defense industry, EU Institutions and EU Member States. In so doing, the article asks whether the war on Ukraine will lead to a genuine step-change in EU defense-industrial cooperation.
自2016年以来,欧盟开始逐步改变其财政支持和激励国防工业合作的方式。2022年将是这一进程中的又一个重要时刻,欧盟将宣布联合防务采购、联合规划和规划等一系列措施。俄罗斯对乌克兰的战争只是凸显了这些措施的重要性,但它也暴露了欧洲国防技术和工业基地(European Defense technology and Industrial Base)的脆弱性。本文介绍了自俄罗斯对乌克兰发动战争以来欧盟国防工业政策的发展,并批判性地探讨了欧洲国防工业、欧盟机构和欧盟成员国面临的一些挑战。在这样做的过程中,文章询问乌克兰战争是否会导致欧盟国防工业合作的真正转变。

50 shades of procurement: the European defense trilemma in defense procurement strategies 采购的50种阴影:欧洲防务采购战略中的三难困境

This article examines the strategic choices of countries regarding their acquisition of defense equipment, given the strategic and economic constraints that they have faced since the end of the Cold War. As Augustine’s laws make it increasingly complicated to develop and produce all the necessary weapons for a single country, countries must balance the wishful thinking of preserving industrial strategic autonomy and the cost of doing so under the constraint of meeting the needs of their armed forces. We discuss a trilemma of the European countries between independence, manageable costs, and economic spinoff. We analyze several procurement alternatives, including national production, European cooperative production, licensed production, off-the-shelf purchase, leasing, and capacity abandonment. Maximizing both strategic and economic advantages, is a myth. There is no “silver bullet” in terms of acquisition choice, and the returns on investment depend on countries’ preferences, goals, and markets.
鉴于冷战结束以来各国所面临的战略和经济限制,本文考察了各国在获取国防装备方面的战略选择。由于奥古斯丁定律使得为一个国家开发和生产所有必要的武器变得越来越复杂,各国必须在保持工业战略自主权的一厢情愿的想法和在满足其武装部队需求的约束下这样做的成本之间取得平衡。我们讨论了欧洲国家在独立、可控成本和经济衍生之间的三难困境。我们分析了几种采购方案,包括国内生产、欧洲合作生产、许可生产、现货采购、租赁和产能放弃。最大化战略和经济优势是一个神话。就收购选择而言,没有什么“灵丹妙药”,投资回报取决于各国的偏好、目标和市场。

Tracking the SDGs: A methodological note on measuring deaths caused by collective violence 追踪可持续发展目标:关于衡量集体暴力造成的死亡的方法说明

As part of recording the progress toward promoting peaceful societies as envisioned in the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16, it is important to provide accurate estimates of violence-related deaths (SDG 16.1). These estimations face a number of methodological challenges, resulting in rather conservative estimates in the social sciences. In this article, we discuss SDG indicator 16.1.2 on conflict-related deaths, proposing its enlargement to cover different forms of collective violence. Various types of collective violence, their definition, measurement, and methods to combine them without double counting are reviewed. Comparing the Georeferenced Events Dataset (GED) to the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) shows that events of armed conflict and terrorism overlap to a certain degree. Our argument is that merging data from different event databases can provide a more accurate account of collective violence. We augment the GED data on organized armed conflict with data on terrorism—as a result, our estimates of the numbers of collective violence-related deaths are indeed significantly higher than suggested by GED (one of the most widely used databases in the social sciences).
作为记录可持续发展目标16所设想的促进和平社会进展的一部分,必须准确估计与暴力有关的死亡人数(可持续发展目标16.1)。这些估计面临着一些方法上的挑战,导致社会科学中相当保守的估计。在本文中,我们讨论关于冲突相关死亡的可持续发展目标指标16.1.2,建议扩大其范围,以涵盖不同形式的集体暴力。各种类型的集体暴力,他们的定义,测量和方法结合起来,不重复计算进行了审查。地理参考事件数据集(GED)与全球恐怖主义数据库(GTD)的对比表明,武装冲突事件与恐怖主义事件存在一定程度的重叠。我们的观点是,合并来自不同事件数据库的数据可以更准确地描述集体暴力。我们用关于恐怖主义的数据增加了关于有组织武装冲突的统计数据——因此,我们对集体暴力相关死亡人数的估计确实大大高于统计数据(社会科学领域使用最广泛的数据库之一)所显示的数字。

The bioeconomics of planetary energy transitions—a theoretical note 行星能量转换的生物经济学——一个理论注释
IF 0.6 Q3 ECONOMICS Pub Date : 2022-10-17 DOI: 10.15355/epsj.17.2.5

Evidence is mounting that unprecedented economic growth experienced by human societies over the past two centuries has induced a state of crisis for the Earth’s ecological systems—a crisis that threatens human society’s existence and heightens the risk of violent conflict. This article presents a simplified model of bioenergetic evolution on a planetary level. It examines human energy exploitation based on three strategies vis-à-vis the natural world: (1) predation, (2) competition, and, more cursorily, (3) mutualism. Predation involves the capture of energy pre-processed by the biotic community (living organisms sharing a common environment). Competition involves appropriating lands to capture solar-generated energy, edging the biotic community out. Mutualism involves engaging the biotic community in a mutualistic effort to harvest energy (and discard energy waste in the form of heat) outside of the planetary system. The model implies that, theoretically, substantial government investment in Earth-based solar generation may be required to effect a planetary energy transition to avert ecological collapse. The model suggests that this transition is not likely to happen automatically as a function of substitution by individual economic actors prior to ecological collapse; rather, it requires top-down coercive and/or incentive measures applied by government.
越来越多的证据表明,人类社会在过去两个世纪里经历了前所未有的经济增长,导致了地球生态系统的危机状态——这场危机威胁着人类社会的生存,并增加了暴力冲突的风险。本文提出了一个行星水平上的生物能量进化的简化模型。它基于三种针对自然世界的策略来研究人类能源开发:(1)捕食,(2)竞争,更粗略地说,(3)互惠互利。捕食涉及捕获由生物群落(共享共同环境的生物)预先处理的能量。竞争包括占用土地来获取太阳能,将生物群落排挤出去。互惠主义包括让生物群落参与互惠努力,在行星系统外获取能量(并以热量的形式丢弃能量废物)。该模型表明,理论上,政府可能需要对地球太阳能发电进行大量投资,以实现全球能源转型,避免生态崩溃。该模型表明,在生态崩溃之前,这种转变不太可能自动发生,因为个体经济行为者进行了替代;相反,它要求政府采取自上而下的强制性和/或激励措施。

Conflict escalation during neutral and biased humanitarian military interventions 中立和有偏见的人道主义军事干预期间的冲突升级

This article considers the effects of humanitarian military interventions (HMIs) on conflict in the countries in which they have been used. Theoretically, neutral HMIs, in which interveners target all violent actors, are expected to have a pacifying effect on conflict intensity by increasing the cost of violence for all parties—while biased HMIs can escalate conflict intensity, by reducing the cost of violence and so encouraging the supported parties to become more violent. The empirical results show that neutral HMIs do seem to lead to lower conflict intensity in the targeted countries, relative to other conflict-affected countries. Anti-rebels HMIs are, observed to escalate conflict both in the short and the long run, while the evidence for anti-government HMIs is mixed.
本文考虑了人道主义军事干预措施对使用这些措施的国家冲突的影响。从理论上讲,中立的HMI,即干预者针对所有暴力行为者,预计会增加各方的暴力成本,从而对冲突强度产生安抚作用——而有偏见的HMI可以通过降低暴力成本,鼓励受支持的各方变得更暴力,从而加剧冲突强度。实证结果表明,与其他受冲突影响的国家相比,中立的HMI似乎确实会降低目标国家的冲突强度。据观察,从短期和长期来看,反叛军HMI都会加剧冲突,而反政府HMI的证据喜忧参半。
