The Global Pursuit of Defense Innovation: IGCC Series in the Journal of Strategic Studies

Gaining a decisive technological edge is a never-ending pursuit for defense establishments and the states they protect. Intensifying geo-strategic and geo-economic rivalry among major powers, especially the U.S. and China, and the global technology revolution occurring in the civilian and military domains, promise to reshape the nature and distribution of global power.
In this series, published by the Journal of Strategic Studies, IGCC affiliated researchers examine defense innovation in small countries with advanced defense innovation capabilities (Israel, Singapore), closed authoritarian powers (North Korea, Russia), large catch-up states (China and India) and advanced large powers (U.S.).
