BLOG: Session VI: Economic Security as National Security
The most recent HSF blog dives into the multifaceted world of economic security. Economic interdependence between countries is a product of globalisation, which, in the era of radical uncertainty, has proven to include both advantages and risks. This has altered the understanding of the implications of global trade and interdependece as well as the means needed to achieve economic security.
“It is really about balancing economic dependencies. The challenge with balancing economic dependence in comparison with balancing military power is that it is much more complicated to balance dependence", noted FIIA Research Director Mikael Wigell.
