Global Defense Regulation Trends Analysis

Regulation to Reinforce Defense Industrial Base Growth Opportunities

In a polarized world, geopolitical, military, technological, political, and strategic changes are happening at a dizzying pace. The need to adapt regulatory mechanisms to defense exports, as well as to the defense market in general (especially in the West), necessitates frequent adjustments in the regulation of these processes. This unique report by the Aerospace and Defense Research Practice reviews the main regulatory changes in key markets around the world, led by the United States and NATO, alongside substantial regulatory shifts in the Middle East and East Asia.

The report reviews the accelerators and restraints of the phenomenon of changing regulation in this industry, and points to geopolitical and legal trends that cross domains in the field of global defense. It lists a series of legal practices that have been renewed or designed in recent years, as a result of the frequent need to adapt legal findings to security needs, technological changes, and geopolitical shifts. For example, the report reviews the cooperation mechanisms established between NATO and the United States, with the aim of expanding the alliance's industrialized defense base, particularly in Europe, following the Russo-Ukrainian War.

Finally, the report points to growth opportunities that arise because of regulatory changes, such as a change in the regime for the export of arms to Ukraine, the American ITAR mechanism, and much more.
