Airbus Industrie The Politics of an International Industrial Collaboration

A remarkable example of genuine European cooperation, Airbus Industrie has destroyed the old American monopoly in commercial airliner production, taking about a third of all new orders and creating considerable US-EU friction. David Thornton describes the process by which the individual European countries involved in the Airbus consortium were able to overcome enormous obstacles and successfully integrate their very different aerospace industries to create a new industrial giant.Thornton, David W. is the author of 'Airbus Industrie The Politics of an International Industrial Collaboration' with ISBN 9780312124410 and ISBN 0312124414.
