Resumen
JIMENEZ VILLARREAL, Roberto Xavier; VARGAS BORBUA, Robert Bolívar y JIMENEZ JIMBO, Kimberly Pamela. Ecuador in the knowledge society: a security and defense perspective. Rev. Cient. Gen. José María Córdova [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.35, pp.599-621. Epub 01-Jul-2021. ISSN 1900-6586. https://doi.org/10.21830/19006586.730.
Through qualitative research, this article evaluates the state of the defense industry in Ecuador by analyzing current fundamental factors to determine the status of a country in the knowledge society: science and technology, and research, development, and innovation. Furthermore, this study shows how investment in these factors influences the defense industry in Ecuador and considers countries such as Brazil, the United States, and China as references to contextualize the results. It is thus evidenced that Ecuador is in the process of building a system of research, development, and innovation, articulating policies focused on the promotion of the defense industry.
