Defense offsets have gained increasing attention in recent years because of the potential impact they may have on the U.S. economy and national security. Defense offsets are the full range of industrial and commercial benefits that firms provide to foreign governments as inducements or conditions for the purchase of military goods and services. They include, for example coproduction arrangements and subcontracting, technology transfers, in-country procurements, marketing and financial assistance, and joint ventures. Views on the effects of offsets are divided between those who believe they are an unavoidable part of doing business overseas and those who believe they negatively affect the U.S. industrial base. In 1984 and again in 1999, the Congress placed data collection and reporting requirements on the administration in an attempt to obtain information as a basis for an analysis of the impact of offsets on the U.S. industrial base. On June 29, 1999, you chaired a hearing to discuss concerns raised by opponents of offsets and explore both sides of the issue. As a result of that hearing, you asked us to review the administration's data collection and policy coordination efforts concerning offsets. Accordingly, you asked us to determine (1) the number of federal agencies collecting data on offsets and the type of data they collect and (2) the extent of coordination among federal agencies for data collection and policymaking related to offsets.

To control the export of defense items, the U.S. government generally requires exporters to obtain a license from the State Department. However, a license is not required for the export of many defense items to Canada. Currently, the Canadian exemption is the only country-specific exemption to the licensing requirement. The exemption was temporarily scaled back when unauthorized re-exports and diversions to nations of concern occurred. It was renegotiated and changes were made in an attempt to address security concerns. In May 2000, the U.S. government announced the Defense Trade Security Initiative, which included a proposal to grant Canadian-like export licensing exemptions to other qualified countries. Since the initiative was announced, the State Department has been negotiating such exemptions with the United Kingdom and Australia. Because the exemption for Canada may serve as the model for these and other countries, you asked that we review how the exemption has been implemented and enforced and whether the experience offers any lessons learned.

The U.S. Gov't. controls the export of defense-related items to minimize the security risk such exports may pose. The U.S. export control system is primarily divided between two regulatory regimes, one managed by the State Dept. for defense items & another managed by the Commerce Dept. for dual-use items that have both mil. & commercial applications. Determining which dep't. has jurisdiction over an item & how that item is controlled is fundamental to the U.S. export control system. This report assesses how gov't. departments assist co's. in determining the proper controls for defense-related items, specifically: (1) how Commerce implements the commodity classification process; & (2) how State implements the commodity jurisdiction process.

Countries that spend scarce resources to import arms from abroad often require arms sellers to 'reinvest' part or all of the proceeds back into the arms-importing country. These so-called 'arms trade offsets' are therefore thought to enhance domestic economic development. But does this process actually succeed? This book examines the theory and policy applications of arms trade offsets and looks at more than a dozen case studies drawn from across Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. The chapters, based on original research and published here for the first time, are all written by leading experts. That an impressive, lucid and cohesive volume such as this will interest defence economists can be taken almost for granted. The book will also be a useful and enlightening read for those interested in international development economics, military studies and policy-makers across the globe.
