Within these extremes there are several other arrangements which are intended to bring benefits to the economics of both the buyer and the seller governments. These are co-production, licensed production, direct offset and indirect offset. This book explains each to these concepts, then goes on to look at the offset experiences of a variety of countries including Saudi Arabia, France, Britain, Japan, USA etc.
