| Summary/Abstract |
Transfer of technology (TOT) is a contentious issue in the international defence trade. In 2019 it was estimated to form at least 40%, or $123 billion USD, of total international defence trade. Whilst purchasing nations set requirements for TOT within their industrial participation (IP) policies, there is often a mismatch between the scale and type of technology suppliers can offer and the buyer’s technological absorption capability (TAC). This persistent tension between ambition and reality frequently strains the buyer-supplier relationship. Thus, understanding how TAC can be enhanced is of vital importance. This paper defines TAC in the international defence acquisition and offsets context and determines the factors for successful TAC. The paper focusses on the potential challenges for successful TAC and offers recommendations on how to enhance TAC. This research is limited to the context of Southeast Asia. The respondents consist of industry, government and academics who operate in the Southeast Asian defence and security sector.

| Summary/Abstract |
The famous American author, Henry James, stated that the Europe’s greatest enemy is “nationalism.” The domain of defence economics is shaped by the debate of EU nations having to make difficult choices based on the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU); between developing a national defence industrial base, which seems to promise security of supply for defence equipment; and moving towards integration with the hope of reducing costs and increasing interoperability.

| Summary/Abstract |
Nations and their citizens now demand clear evidence as to the benefits of defence spending. The opportunity cost of defence expenditure against other sectors is constantly queried. It is economically challenging to find consensus amongst traditional economists, and policy-makers, on how to measure value in the context of defence. This article offers solutions by using the case study of Malaysia. Primary data sources include open-ended and semi structured interviews to produce a thematic discussion, as well as secondary resources. The author argues that it is hard to appraise defence value, as measurements are case-specific. Rather, the paper will use a novel ‘Triple-Defence Value Framework’, to argue that value can be measured by dividing the role of defence into a primary level: for protection and safety; a secondary level: for socio-economic prosperity; and a tertiary level: for soft power projection. The paper concludes by using the framework to measure the value derived from the Malaysian defence sector.
