Klimov Vasily
The Impact of Pressure Groups on US Missile Defense Policy // International Affairs. 2022. Vol. 68. ¹ 3. P. 169-186.
Publication Type:

An influential group of supporters has formed around expensive military projects, including missile defense projects. This group actively promotes the interests of both individual manufacturers and the program as a whole. The fact that information on US military policy is openly accessible to legislative and executive authorities, research centers, and the media reduces the power of unilateral lobbying in the interests of the military-industrial complex and individual state agencies.


Keywords: US missile defense policy | US Congress | military-industrial complex | research institutes (foundations) | missile defense programs | pressure groups |
