About this ebook

This book aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the strategic significance of the GCC states’ defense industry, offering critical insights into its implications for regional security, economic development, and geopolitical dynamics. By examining the drivers and challenges surrounding the localization of the defense industry in these states, it seeks to unravel the complex processes and factors that shape this evolving sector.

An in-depth analysis of the economic implications of localization constitutes another significant aspect of this book. As the defense industry becomes increasingly localized, it holds the potential to generate substantial economic growth, create high-skilled job opportunities, and foster technological innovation. Scrutinizing the economic dynamics and potential benefits of the defense industry in the GCC states offers valuable insights into their broader efforts towards economic diversification and reducing dependence on hydrocarbon revenues, ultimately facilitating the transition towards knowledge-based economies.

Aside from economic considerations, this book also explores the security implications of local defense industry development. As the GCC states endeavor to achieve defense localization, there is potential for enhancing their military capabilities, reducing vulnerabilities, and strengthening their national security posture. Understanding the impact of these developments on regional security dynamics, military strategies, and collaborative defense initiatives is crucial for policymakers, security analysts, and defense officials.
