Global Militarisation Index 2024

Abstract

The Global Militarization Index (GMI), published by the Bonn International Center for Conflict Studies (BICC), provides a map illustrating the relative weight and significance of the military apparatus in each country compared to its societal structure. The index is based on data from the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Health Organization (WHO), the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), and BICC’s own datasets.
