Country Survey XV: Defence Policy and Spending in Belgium

Wally Struys

Defence and Peace Economics, 2002, vol. 13, issue 1, 31-53

Abstract: As far as defence in Belgium is concerned, the post-war era can be subdivided in two: the Cold War period, and the period from 1989, which also coincides with a profound political reorganisation of the country. In the following pages, a brief overview of the restructuring attempts of the armed forces since 1989, an evolution of the work force, an outline of the defence expenditures and a description of Belgium's defence industrial base (DIB) is presented.
