Global Militarization Index

The Global Militarization Index (GMI) depicts the relative weight and importance of the military apparatus of one state in relation to its society as a whole. For this, the GMI uses a number of indicators to represent the degree of militarization of a country: * Military Expenditure Index Score: comparison of military expenditure with its gross domestic product (GDP) and its health expenditure (as share of its GDP); * People Index Score: contrast between the total number of (para)military forces with the number of physicians, and the overall population; * Heavy Weapons Index Score: ratio of the number of heavy weapons available and the overall population.
