Armaments Cooperation in the Pacific Rim: An Evaluation Framework for the Selection of Cooperative Arrangements

Abstract

This study presents factors which require evaluation prior to entering into a cooperative arrangement. The purpose of the research was to create an evaluation framework to assist DOD managers of international projects with a tool to enable the selection of an appropriate cooperative arrangement type. The study was focused on the Pacific Rim and includes two case studies on the Japanese FS-X and the Korean Fighter Plane. Factors were identified through literature research, case studies, and personal interviews. The study concluded with the identification of six basic factors: technology, industrial base, political, economic, program stage, and requestor's motives.
