No Brain, No Brawn: Trump 2.0 Makes an EU Economic Security Network Essential
The success of the EU’s response to challenges posed by Russia, China, and Trump 2.0 will hinge on the bloc’s ability to establish itself as a global geoeconomic power by leveraging its economic strength to pursue foreign policy goals, Agathe Demarais and Abraham Newman argue in this policy brief for the
European Council on Foreign Relations. They outline an important first step in this effort: the creation of an EU Economic Security Network (EU ESN). Drawing on similar network-based institutions that the EU has developed in other domains - such as medicines, energy, privacy, competition policy and law enforcement - the EU ESN could help to co-ordinate and implement a truly pan-European agenda for geoeconomics. An EU ESN would play a core role in building solidarity among EU member states as it advances Europe’s foreign policy goals and promotes EU values on the global stage.
