What are the implications of Russia's war in 🇺🇦 for the 🇪🇺 defense industry? How does this peculiar industry work in general? I address these questions in a cluster for the open science platform @tema_think. The special input https://t.co/YaSgHWbCSa synthesizes /1

Great piece by @hoshigi_nam and @W_Alex_Sanchez on how vital exports are for second-tier arms producers to sustain production! It begs the question: To what extent do the expectations of those exports drive production decisions?

In their new article, Hoshik Nam (@hoshigi_nam) and Wilder Alejandro Sánchez (@W_Alex_Sanchez) discuss the growth of the South Korean defense industry and how expanding into the Latin American market offers an opportunity for diversification. https://t.co/Kz2BiB3BaW

@hoshigi_nam @WarOnTheRocks @W_Alex_Sanchez This is great, congrats!

I’m excited to share my first article on @WarOnTheRocks with @W_Alex_Sanchez! If you want to learn more about the current issues and future prospects of the South Korean defense industry and its potential impact in Latin America, check out the article!

"Markets in Defense of Europe" is most likely going to be my favorite article title. Together with @kaijaschilde, I had the opportunity to advance our argument on how the European Union can leverage its regulatory authority to shape the European defense/1

My latest article for @esutde closely examines @SIPRIorg's international arms transfers data, an invaluable resource for researchers, civil society, and policymakers. @SIPRIorg deserves immense credit for providing this public good, and the annual data releases rightfully /1

It is important to note that @SIPRI data captures only international armament dynamics and does not account for domestic or cooperative arms procurement. I conclude by highlighting a few trends relevant to Europe, focusing on the largest importers and exporters and their /5

some form of military Keynesianism is as straightforward as this post suggests. 2/2

[Lucas Hellemeier @LHellemeier]

Not that I'm opposed to ramping up production, but reducing this to a matter of 'will' and/or 'pressure' ignores decades of defense economics research. Neither the transformation of civilian industrial capacity into defense industrial capacity nor the application of 1/2

[Fabian Hoffmann @FRHoffmann1]

This is unfortunately quite accurate. Diehl and Hensoldt are already among the few German arms manufacturers that have established an automated product line for IRIS-T SLM, but it's far from enough.
