Background
Overview
Directly relevant to India's 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative in defense, understanding global defense economics, technology transfer, and the strategic implications of military self-reliance for national security, foreign policy, and economic development.
Military industrial capacity building involves a nation's strategic efforts to develop and strengthen its domestic defense manufacturing base, reducing reliance on foreign arms suppliers. This pursuit is often driven by the goal of achieving strategic autonomy, enabling a state to independently formulate and execute its security and foreign policy without external dependencies.
