Abstract:
Increased military tensions, changes in weapons systems, forms and methods of confrontation are fuelling increased demand for armaments and increased military spending in virtually all regions of the world. Without an awareness of the real level of the military power of countries, the dynamics of their changes and the directions of further development, it is impossible to build a perfect system of national security, to specify possible military and political threats, develop instruments to counter these threats and the scenarios how to neutralize them. The article is aimed at highlighting the current patterns of militarization processes at the global level, identifying both regional and national features of militarization, carrying out a comparative analysis of military power and combat capability of the armies that are at disposal of the geopolitical players. Based on data from international analytical centers, which are in one way or another related to security and defense systems (SIPRI, BICC, IISS, etc.), the article highlights global trends and regional features of increasing the defense budgets as determinants of the military power of countries and the combat capability of their armies. Measuring together with the international comparisons of the multifaceted militarization processes are based on indicators of the international rating systems: the military power of countries and the combat capability of armies – based on Global Firepower (GFP); the militarized burden on the economy and society as a whole, based on the Global Militarization Index (GMI). The methodological aspects of the formation of these mentioned international ratings are also considered, the results of positioning in the rankings for the top countries and Ukraine, which has been suffering from Russian hybrid aggression for five years, are displayed.

Keywords: militarization processes, defense budget, indicators of the military power of the State, militarized burden on the economy and society.
