The book Defence Industries in the 21st Century delves into the profound transformation occurring in the global defense industrial production, shedding light on the intricate interplay between international and domestic factors. As the world's defense industry and arms market continue to expand and mature, it becomes increasingly crucial to understand the potential implications of this progression on international politics. In practice, as evidenced by the contents of this book, emerging states exhibit significant variations in their defense industrial bases and arms export policies. This variance arises from a unique equilibrium between domestic and international factors that have shaped the defense industrialization behavior and policies of less industrialized nations.

One of the book's key findings is that the interplay between domestic and international factors exerts a profound influence on the variation in defense industrialization policies among emerging states, as well as their overall success or failure. While international factors present opportunities, they also impose certain limitations on the options available to emerging economies. On the other hand, domestic factors play a crucial role in shaping the policy choices made by states' decision-makers.

By examining the balance between international and domestic factors and their impact on defense industrialization in emerging states, Defence Industries in the 21st Century offers valuable insights to scholars and researchers in the fields of Defense Industries, Arms Manufacturing, and Defense, Strategic, and Security Studies. The chapters in this book were originally published in esteemed journals such as Defence Studies, Comparative Strategy, and All Azimuth, further contributing to the body of knowledge in this domain.
