“Military Industrial Complex” refers to the partnership between the military and the industry of a given country. The earlier industrial advancement in the western world, and a need for the sophisticated technologies for military to improve its capabilities laid the ground of a complimentary partnership between the military and industry of the western countries. An actualization of such a partnership occurred in the 20^th century during the two world wars. However, after the end of colonialism in mid-20^th century, the emergence of new countries on the globe stimulated the industrial infrastructures and technological advancement. The partnership between the military and industry has led to the emergence of two different forms of “Military Industrial Complex” in two contrasting political systems i.e. Democratic & Authoritarian. So, the central objective of this study is to put forth an explanatory research into a typology of the phenomenon of “Military Industrial Complex”. For that matter, it’s also imperative to analyze the nature, structure and dynamics of the Military Industrial Complex in two contrasting political frameworks.
