Defence Procurement and Employment: The Case of UK Shipbuilding.
This article provides a case study of defense procurement policy in the United Kingdom. The study specifically relates to the impact of the changes in the U.K. government's defense policy on the warshipbuilding industry and the potential to use procurement for the creation and maintenance of employment. The study demonstrates that for the shipbuilding industry much of the attempt to introduce competitive tendering has been cosmetic. The use of warship orders as employment policy is also seen to be a failure. Copyright 1990 by Oxford University Press.
