 On What Topics Does the Scientific Community Cooperate in Defense Economics? A Science Mapping of the First 30 Years of the Journal Defence and Peace EconomicsDavid Moroz ()
Post-Print from HAL Abstract: The academic journal Defence and Peace Economics, which celebrated its pearl jubilee in 2024, is acknowledged as the leading journal in defense economics, bringing together a scientific community of authors from a diverse array of countries. We conduct a bibliometric study using science mapping to analyze the evolution of author networks and research themes within the journal from 1994 to 2023. Analyzing 1069 articles, our findings reveal a growing internationalization of the journal, alongside an increasing diversification of topics. However, we observe a decrease in the rate of international co-authorship during the most recent period of our analysis, i.e. 2019-2023. The core of the publications remains focused on military spending and its interconnection with economic growth. Moreover, our analysis points to themes related to technology, innovation, and R&D in the defense industry as research opportunities.
