Das BICC (Bonn International Center for Conversion) hat seinen diesjährigen Global Militarisation Index (GMI) veröffentlicht. Jedes Jahr listet das BICC den Status der Militarisierung der Länder auf. Der GMI 2020 deckt 151 Staaten ab und basiert auf den neuesten verfügbaren Daten. Das Indexprojekt wird finanziell unterstützt durch das BMZ.

Das diesjährige GMI-Ranking führt zehn Länder an, die im Verhältnis zu anderen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen besonders große Ressourcen für das Militär aufwenden: Israel, Armenien, Oman, Bahrain, Singapur, Saudi-Arabien, Brunei, Russland, Kuwait und Jordanien. Im COVID-19-Jahr befasst sich das GMI 2020 auch mit einem Vergleich zwischen Militarisierungsgrad und Gesundheitssicherheit (Global Health Security). Länder mit einem durchschnittlichen Militarisierungsgrad schneiden im Gesundheitswesen am besten ab.

Der BICC Globale Militarisierungsindex von 2020 kann hier heruntergeladen werden.
