Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Pardee RAND Graduate School, 2007.

This dissertation addresses the problem of the shortfall between the strategic airlift capabilities which the European Union requires if it is to fulfill the ambition to be a credible security actor and the capabilities available to the major European nations individually and collectively. It does so by identifying and describing the key factors that influence decision-making on strategic airlift capabilities, in the context of various policy options for doing so, as well as the barriers to the implementation of the most cost-effective among the various options available. A main objective of this dissertation is to examine how European nations can make and implement decisions that will improve the strategic airlift capabilities of a European rapid reaction force that is both autonomous and interoperable with its U.S. allies, taking into account the limited resources European nations are able to commit to this purpose. A key assertion, in that context, is that pooling of resources is the most cost-effective way to address airlift capability shortfalls in a restrictive budgetary environment, but also the most politically challenging to implement.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation addresses the problem of the shortfall between the strategic airlift capabilities which the European Union requires if it is to fulfill the ambition to be a credible security actor and the capabilities available to the major European nations individually and collectively. It does so by identifying and describing the key factors that influence decision-making on strategic airlift capabilities, in the context of various policy options for doing so, as well as the barriers to the implementation of the most cost-effective among the various options available. A main objective of this dissertation is to examine how European nations can make and implement decisions that will improve the strategic airlift capabilities of a European rapid reaction force that is both autonomous and interoperable with its U.S. allies, taking into account the limited resources European nations are able to commit to this purpose. A key assertion, in that context, is that pooling of resources is the most cost-effective way to address airlift capability shortfalls in a restrictive budgetary environment, but also the most politically challenging to implement.
520 $a The study is divided into two parts. The first part contains a systematic review of the factors affecting decision-making with respect to strategic airlift capabilities in Europe, focusing, in particular, on the potential for increased efficiencies from pooling (compared to national) options. In the second part, negotiations analysis is used to identify and analyze key barriers to the implementation of cost-effective pooling solutions, and to suggest potential strategies for overcoming these barriers.
520 $a Although the study focuses on strategic airlift, a broader goal is to propose a methodological framework for evaluating and integrating the various decision-making factors, which can be applied to the analysis of many other defense capabilities that are currently in short supply among European nations.
