Abstrakty
In the article, the author presents British defence-economic thought during the Conservatists’ rule. Those were the last years of the Cold War and, at the same time, the period of significant transformations in the British Armed Forces and defence industry. One of the most important issues in British defence economy was to examine social and economic results of defence expenditures. Thus viewpoints concerning the military expenditures influence upon production processes and national product division have been presented. Defence industry conversion is the next matter under consideration. Keeping employment and production potential forced researchers to deal with the problem of moving a part of military production for civilian sector needs. They pointed out to the necessity of production and employment reorganisation taking into account innovative products and processes. International security matters connected with armament control and allied defence - economic co-operation play an important role in British defence economy. Both domestic and international economic effects are discussed in the works of British economists. A special attention is drawn to increasing the scale of production, international specialisation and trade based on comparable advantages. The whole British defence-economic thought output from the eighties shows care about economic effective use of fewer and fewer resources assigned to defence.
