An analysis and generalization of the main provisions of numerous foreign and domestic studies on the justification and development of approaches and methods for solving this scientific problem was carried out. The author's version of the theoretical foundations of international trade in arms, military equipment and other types of military products (hereinafter referred to as military products), including all the main system-forming components of their classical structural composition, has been developed. The definition of the content of the concept of the global world market for international trade in arms, military equipment and other types of military equipment is formulated; the regional structure, main subjects, objects and functions of this market are given.

In conclusion, the results of the study are summarized, which together ensure the formation of a system of new scientific knowledge about international trade in arms, military equipment and other military equipment as a scientific and methodological basis for the subsequent development of scientific problems in this subject area.
