NAS Lecture Series - The Economy as National Security

"The White House Embattled: The U.S. Election 2024" - Lecture Series of the North American Studies Program:
Dr. Laura von Daniels, Foundation for Political Science and Politics, Berlin:
"The Economy as National Security? How Geoeconomic Competition and Geopolitical Confrontation Shape Economic and Security Policy":
The United States increasingly sees the economy as part of its national security to which China is deemed to pose the greatest threat. Consequently, a key priority of US foreign policy is to prevent the rise of China as an economically, technologically and ultimately militarily superior power. Dr. von Daniels argues that regardless of who wins the US elections, EU member states need to better coordinate their economic and security policies if they want to protect their citizens’ security and prosperity in times of geoeconomic and geopolitical confrontation between the United States and China.
