STRENGTHENING NATIONAL RESILIENCE THROUGH DEFENSE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE ERA OF GLOBALIZATION
Abstract
This study aims to analyze the role of defense entrepreneurship in strengthening national resilience in the era of globalization. Globalization demands that countries be independent in the defense sector, particularly through innovation, strategic industrial independence, and strengthening the defense entrepreneurship ecosystem. The research method used is a qualitative case study approach. Primary data was obtained through in-depth interviews with academics, defense industry practitioners, and policymakers, while secondary data was collected from policy documents, official reports, and related scientific publications. Data analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 Plus software for coding, categorizing, and thematic analysis. Within the theoretical framework, this study uses the National Resilience Theory, which emphasizes the importance of ideological, political, economic, socio-cultural, and defense and security aspects (Asta Gatra), and is supported by the concept of Entrepreneurial Ecosystem Theory to explain the dynamics of defense innovation development. The results show that defense entrepreneurship plays a strategic role in increasing the independence of the defense industry through collaboration between the government, academics, and business actors. In addition, the emergence of defense technology start-ups can strengthen national competitiveness amidst the pressures of globalization. This study concludes that strengthening national resilience requires the integration of defense innovation policies, entrepreneurial support, and the use of digital technology. Research recommendations are directed at establishing a defense entrepreneurship ecosystem that is inclusive, sustainable, and adaptive to global dynamics.
