There is an increasing concern for areas where national security intersects with economic flows. How do governments perceive and respond to investments from state-sponsored actors, particularly China and Russia? This is what the authors of The Political Economy of National Security, Critical Infrastructure and Securitization of Foreign Investments have investigated. The book addresses the securitization of cross-border capital movements and the broader implications for the international liberal order.
This book is a part of a NUPI led project that has now come to an end. The COINS project has investigated how liberal economies can attract foreign investments whilst at the same time mitigate the risks associated with such investments. Read more about the project here.
During this book launch Research Professor Jakub Godzimirski (NUPI) will introduce the book and moderate the discussion. In the panel you will find Tim Sweijs (The Hague Centre for Strategic Studies), Charlotte Hafstad Widerberg (UiO) and Hans Jørgen Gåsemyr (NUPI).
