Industrial policy is a critical element that determines the development of economic sectors, including the defence industry. In today's context of growing geopolitical tensions,
technological progress and globalisation, effective functioning and development of the
defence industry is highly relevant. The purpose of the work is to investigate the role of
industrial policy in the formation of the most effective strategies and approaches to the
development of the defence-industrial complex and the possibility of their adaptation in
Ukraine.
The study was conducted using comparative, systemic and SWOT analyses. The results
showed that each country under consideration – the United States, France and China –
has unique opportunities for developing the defence industry but also faces specific
threats. The defence industry of these countries is a complex system that encompasses
big corporations, research institutions, and government agencies. All of them receive
considerable funding from the state budget, invest in research and development, and
collaborate with international partners, which allows their products to be of high quality
and innovativeness.
The USA has the largest defence budget and significant technological capabilities but
depends on political decisions and high costs. France has a solid technical base but faces
limited budgetary resources and dependence on European politics. China is showing a
significant increase in its defence budget, but limited international cooperation is hindering the stable development of its defence industry. The findings show that a balanced industrial policy that combines economic and international legal aspects is the
key to creating a sustainable and competitive defence industry.
Further research in this area will help find more effective strategies for developing the
defence industry and enhancing national security and economic stability.
