Abstract

This article investigates the changes in the defense industrial base (DIB) of the small NATO post-communist countries: Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. It considers the historical development of their industries from the Soviet era and the developments caused by the Crimea and Ukraine conflicts. It finds that exports to the markets of the former communist Czechoslovakia continued for Czechia with the DIB owned and controlled by oligarchs—who have been able to leverage this power to influence defense policy. In Slovakia, the DIB is insignificant and mainly under the influence of Czechia. The Hungarian DIB is being redeveloped by the richest members of Hungarian society, through international joint ventures, with the aim of expanding exports. The DIBs of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania produce only what is needed by their national armed forces—which seems unlikely to change.
六个北约后共产主义国家的国防工业基地
本文调查了北约后共产主义小国的国防工业基础(DIB)的变化:捷克,斯洛伐克,匈牙利,立陶宛,拉脱维亚和爱沙尼亚。它考虑了它们的工业从苏联时代的历史发展以及克里米亚和乌克兰冲突造成的发展。研究发现,在捷克投资银行由寡头拥有和控制的情况下,捷克继续向前共产主义国家捷克斯洛伐克的市场出口——这些寡头能够利用这种权力影响国防政策。在斯洛伐克,DIB是微不足道的,主要受捷克的影响。匈牙利投资银行正由匈牙利社会中最富有的成员通过国际合资企业重新发展,目的是扩大出口。爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚和立陶宛的dib只生产本国武装部队所需的产品,这一点似乎不太可能改变。
