Argentina desarrolló una serie de experiencias muy relevantes en sectores industriales estratégicos (siderometalúrgico, petroquímico, química pesada, gasífero, petrolero y nuclear). También importantes esfuerzos en las industrias de defensa. El impulso de estas actividades estuvo asociado en sus orígenes al impacto que tuvo la Primera Guerra Mundial y las vulnerabilidades evidenciadas por el conflicto. Consecuencia de la paralización económica emergente y del escaso grado de desenvolvimiento industrial surgieron en el seno de las Fuerzas Armadas y en algunos círculos políticos posturas que manifestaban la necesidad de impulsar el desarrollo de la industria nacional.

This is a book about the national armament systems of five nations. It provides an introduction to the political environment, the acquisition organizations, systems and processes of Australia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States. These countries were selected for two reasons; they are participants in the annual Pacific International Acquisition and Procurements Seminar (IAPS) and because as allies and friends they are likely participants in future international armaments cooperative programs.
