The concept of Defense Economy and its distinctive features

Defense Economics – to be distinguished  from Defensive Economy – requires applying analytical tools (techniques), rules, theories, data and  methodologies  to prepare scholarly  analysis of defensive issues and defense / security related issues (in its comprehensive negative and positive concepts) and conflict settlement. Therefore, Defense Economics examines defense and defense- related issues at national, regional and international levels, micro or macro, in  war and non-war conditions, using hard and soft tools.  The term "Defense Economics" is more comprehensive than " economics of defense sector ".  This research, explains the relation between defense economics and national security economics, peace economics and Resilient Economy,.  The experts in Defense economics analyze and propose the  optimal approaches toward reaching defense and security objectives/goals  as set by decision takers. Although economical considerations may be considered by the decision takers and the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, but, in general,  defensive-security decision taking is not necessarily an economic decision.
