This report covers a major issue for policymakers: whether the United States can sustain its preeminent position in aerospace, given the intentions of numerous foreign manufacturers to enter the small commercial jet aircraft segment by 2016.

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Politics - Topic: Globalization, Political Economics, grade: 2,3, University of Applied Sciences Essen, language: English, abstract: This assignment gives a general overview of the large civil aircraft market leaders: Airbus and Boeing. Further, the historical backgrounds will be analyzed. The assignment examines the duopoly-position considering the economic backgrounds. A number of key issues arise especially from Boeing’s side. Boeing lost his dominant role on the market. Furthermore, Airbus delivered very high innovative technological standards, by keeping the costs low. It did not take long time until Boeing has responded by blaming Airbus to get subsidies from the government. All this led to the biggest dispute in history and has been a particular challenge for the World Trade Organization (WTO). The results of this assignment point out, that there are new entrants on the aircraft market, for example China and Russia. Instead of negotiating for years about subsidies, Airbus and Boeing should concentrate on improving their technological standards. The best way to summing up, is to say, that it is not a competition between aircraft industries, it is a competition between the world’s largest governments: The European Union and the United States.

This report assesses the effectiveness of China’s industrial policies, using China’s commercial aviation manufacturing industry as a case study. It evaluates China’s efforts to create a national champion in this industry, and analyzes foreign manufacturers’ efforts to protect key technologies when setting up production facilities there. It also offers policy options for foreign governments responding to Chinese policies.

Aviation Law and Policy in Asia: Smart Regulation in Liberalised Markets investigates the regulatory and business dimensions of aviation law and policy in Asia and serve as a roadmap for understanding aviation law and policy in Asia.

The commercial airline industry is one of the most volatile, dog-eat-dog enterprises in the world, and in the late 1990s, Europe’s Airbus overtook America’s Boeing as the preeminent aircraft manufacturer. However, Airbus quickly succumbed to the same complacency it once challenged, and Boeing regained its precarious place on top. Now, after years of heated battle and mismanagement, both companies face the challenge of serving burgeoning Asian markets and stiff competition from China and Japan. Combining insider knowledge with vivid prose and insight, John Newhouse delivers a riveting story of these two titans of the sky and their struggles to stay in the air.
