Accordino, John J. Captives of the Cold War Economy: The Struggle for Defense Conversion in American Communities. Westport, CT, Praeger, 2000. 205 p.
Accordino's book derives from his experience in Virginia trying to engage a recalcitrant state government to face the reality that the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process was going to have potentially serious, disruptive impacts on the economic health of several communities in the state. While this book is directed at the Virginia experience, it also provides some sense of the problem and how it was addressed in other states. The methodology combines some simple economic analysis with in-depth interviews with local decision makers.

The Army's process for selecting installations has remained fairly constant during the last three BRAC rounds, in 1991,1993, and 1995.
This report offers ten criteria it argues should characterize an effective BRAC process and analyzes the Army's 1995 process in light of those criteria. It then goes on to suggest an improved process.

The U.S. Department of Defense and the U.K. Ministry of Defence face a common challenge: to modernize their forces to meet changing military threats under reduced budgets. To meet this challenge, both organizations are increasingly interested in leveraging private sector capital and expertise to provide defense activities and support services.
