“…The graphical analysis (Figure 1) highlights a significant peak in 2017 (i.e., six articles). These publications are mainly associated to the European Defense, Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) (Maye 2017), the European Defense Agency (EDA) (Calcara 2017), and the EU Directive on intra-Community Transfers of Defense Equipment (Fiott 2017). These manuscripts show that cooperation and interdependence of the European defense industry are central to EU policy, essentially for security and economic reasons.…”

The post-Cold War era is placing the defense industry at a crossroads. If, on the one hand, it is under great pressure to guarantee warlike efforts around the world, with tight budgets and uncertain lead-times, on the other hand, it is seen as a central instrument for national sovereignty and foreign policy. The purpose of this research is to report the state-of-the-art of the existing literature and explore the most relevant research areas in order to provide the conceptual basis for further empirical research. To do so, this study uses a preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), which is an adequate technique as it allows one to discover concepts, ideas, and debates about the defense industry. The results evidenced three different approaches to the defense industry—integration, autarky, and domination. In that regard, we present several case studies in which the defense industry is used as an instrument of foreign policy or national sovereignty. Future studies may focus on empirical research to validate the theoretical findings or to identify variables that lead some defense industries to seek synergies, resorting to mergers and acquisitions, while other defense companies prefer to obtain State funds.

The aim of this document is to outline the historical development, roles and responsibilities of the European Defence Agency (EDA), decision-making procedures and discuss its activities that could support the Lithuanian defence industry. The findings show that the Agency continues to play an important role in coordinating participating member states (pMS) and their defence industries, enabling projects, suggesting prioritization tools, and fostering initiatives that seek greater strategic autonomy of the EU. The successful accomplishments of EDA initiatives depend on the ‘national appetite’ of pMS. The results of the research suggest a limited Lithuanian interest in the various EU programs, supervised by the EDA, that could boost the developments of the indigenous defence industry and research related to defence.
