The Military Industrial Complex refers to the close relationship and collaboration between a nation’s military, government, and defense industry. It describes the network of government agencies, armed forces, and private companies that work together to develop, produce, and procure military equipment and services. The term emphasizes the influence that this coalition can exert on national policy, particularly in matters of defense spending and military engagement. The concept suggests that, due to vested interests, there may be motivations to prioritize military expenditures and conflict over other social or economic needs.
