Turkish Defense Industry is the locomotive of the national technology move. However, there is a need to develop strategies in line with the national strategic objectives to increase the contribution of the defense industry to the national competitive edge. The ever-changing environmental and technological conditions and advances in the understanding of defense and security make it necessary to update vision for the defense industry. Porter’s diamond model has become a generally accepted and frequently used model in terms of providing a more systematic and disciplined perspective in the context of competition strategies, promoting the creation of a value chain on a sectoral basis and supporting national competitiveness. Towards this end, the aim of this study is to analyze Turkey’s defense industry’s competitiveness by means of Porter’s diamond model and present a future perspective. The reports of the Defense Industry Presidency and the Defense Industry Association have been systematically examined and analyzed.

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is composed of countries with a shared heritage that are at various stages of economic growth and are home to extremely diverse natural resources. There have been military or civil wars in the majority of the countries in the region. There were wars that caused extreme human misery, economic displacement, and many developments opportunities were lost by the nations of the region. Therefore, a substantial proportion of national budgets is used for military expenditure. In addition, for the economy, military investments produce both costs and profits. This study investigated the correlation between military expenditures and growth in MENA Countries by applying panel data over the span of 2009-2019. As a result, we found a positive and significant impact of military expenditure on economic growth.

The Indonesian nation is currently continuing to develop the strength of the Indonesian Navy’s submarine fleet to increase the deterrence of the national defense system and to ensure the security and safety of shipping in strategic maritime routes. The Indonesian Navy submarine is capable of supervising ships sailing or entering and leaving Indonesian waters freely and without being detected by the sonar of warships and submarines of other countries. The limited operational time of the submarine can be caused by several things, both related to the characteristics of the submarine related to the technology used, and the availability of logistics and supporting infrastructure for the submarine’s operations. The Submarine can not continuously dive during its operation to secure and enforce the sovereignty of the Indonesian national jurisdiction. The focus of research is on the determinant influence of infrastructure on submarine operational durability to increase the deterrence of the state defense system at sea. This research uses a qualitative analysis method with the development of thinking through interviews, Focus Group Discussions(FGD), Round Table Discussions (RTD), and semi-structured interviews to obtain data about submarine operational durability.

The great challenges of the third millennium are not limited to globalization (or, according to some people, the forced promotion of globalization worldwide by the world’s great powers), the fight against international terrorism or the continuous implementation of state-of-the-art technologies. They culminate in the concept of “Industry 4.0[1], the fourth industrial revolution, represented by the digitization of all aspects of social life. New elements, totally unknown until recently and especially unpredictable such as economic recession, destabilization of the eurozone, political populism, intensification of cyberattacks of Russia or China, the failure of the Trump administration etc. required changes in the current environment. Through the rapid and categorical way of imposition, two of them stand out as cataclysms of social life, as it was perceived at the beginning of the millennium, completely transforming the reality of civilization on the old continent. Thus, the refugee crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic crisis have changed human existence in all its complexity, redefining, among other things, the daily way we make our living through work.
