Theoretically Well Armed?

Niklas Schörnig analyzes the US-arms industry policy in the 1990s

The US arms industry policy in the 1990s from International Relations perspective), Niklas Schörnig analyzes this special policy during this period. Supported by the government, it came to an extensive consolidation and restructuring of the US arms industry.
