Supplementary Material - Global North-South Defense Industry Asymmetries

This Supplementary Material provides the computational and methodological framework for the study "Global North-South Defense Industry Asymmetries." It comprises the R script utilized for the Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) modeling, ensuring the replicability of the causal simulations and network analysis. Additionally, the material includes the complete pairwise evaluation matrices, detailing the expert-driven assessments of the cross-impacts between the five core research constructs (C1 to C5). By integrating the raw code with the underlying qualitative-quantitative data, this supplement offers a transparent view of how structural disparities and systemic pressures are quantified within the global defense industrial ecosystem.
