The Global Militarization Index (GMI) is an annual report produced by the Bonn International Centre for Conflict Studies (BICC) which measures the relative position of nations' and regions' peacefulness. It is financially supported by German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.[1]

The first GMI was first published in 2006.[2] The GMI 2023 covers 149 states and is widely used to study military economies of different countries and compare them.[3][4][5][6] It focuses on three major indicators: personnel, expenditures, and weapons.[7]

Measurement

The index uses a number of indicators.[8]

  • Military Expenditure Index Score: comparison of military expenditures with GDP and health care expenditures.
  • People Index Score: contrast between the number of military and paramilitary forces with the overall population and the number of physicians.
  • Heavy Weapons Index Score: number of heavy weapons available per capita.
