Este artículo analiza el comercio global de defensa e investiga los factores que determinan el comercio de estos bienes, explorando espec ́ıficamente su evoluci ́on en contextos de marcada incertidumbre geopolítica, por ejemplo, tras la invasión de Ucrania en 2022 por parte de Rusia, y evaluando si ha habido un aumento del friendshoring de estos bienes. Encontramos que la cercanía cultural y política es más importante que la proximidad geográfica para el comercio de armas, bienes de doble uso y bienes nucleares, en comparación con el comercio general. Además, los modelos de gravedad y el análisis de redes evidencian un aumento de la fragmentación geopolítica en los últimos años y apuntan a una mayor tendencia hacia el friendshoring en tiempos de incertidumbre geopolítica.
This paper analyzes the global defense trade and investigates the factors that determine the trade of these goods and whether, during times of high geopolitical uncertainty, such as post-2021 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, there has been an increase in ”friendshoring” of these goods. We find that cultural and political closeness is more important than geographical vicinity for the trade of arms, dual-use, and nuclear goods compared to overall trade. Further, gravity models and network analysis show an increase in geopolitical fragmentation in recent years and point towards an emphasis on friendshoring during times of geopolitical uncertainty.
