Erinomainen keskustelu pienten valtioiden mahdollisuuksista vaikuttaa ulkomaisten omistusten, globaalien tuotantohäiriöiden ja teknologisten riippuvuuksien tuottamiin ongelmiin. Erilaisia strategioita (protektionismi, liberalismi, teknologia) ja niiden yhdistelmiä esillä.

The findings of the @FORAC_Research project were presented at today’s seminar.

The project studied how small states could shield enterprises critical for their supply security from strategic foreign acquisitions and political retaliation, and still maintain their open economies.

New FIIA report 🧵

Small states with open economies have been increasingly concerned about their dependence on great powers, particularly China.

The report examines how small states can enhance #preparedness in a world of #geoeconomic competition.

Great to see this OA article co-authored with @MattFerchen out. We rethink Chinese economic statecraft, and propose a new framework for analysis centered around 5 modes of economic influence. An outcome of the @FORAC_Research project. @utusoc @FIIA_fi 1/10

"Suomikaan ei pysty ratkaisemaan asiaa yksin... Lääkkeiden saatavuuden turvaamiseksi tarvitaan nopeasti EU-tason ratkaisuja. Euroopan pitäisi vähintään olla valmis tuottamaan lääkkeitä kriisitilanteessa. Vaikuttavia aineita pitäisi ostaa useammasta maasta, ei vain Kiinasta."
