Balancing Competition And National Security In Defense Procurement
Global defense technology procurement occupies a complex space between competition law, public procurement law, national security, and strategic autonomy. Governments aim to balance competitive procurement with the need to protect sensitive information and domestic defense-industrial capabilities. The EU’s Defence and Security Procurement Directive is a key framework for increasing competition and transparency in defense procurement, while permitting safeguards for classified information and security of supply.
