About this report
We are accustomed to thinking of globalisation as an economic phenomenon: the fall of barriers, the integration of markets, the swelling of trade, the wealth that followed. The reading is correct but partial, for it omits the question beneath it: why did the West want globalisation, and what did it expect it to produce beyond profit?
Behind the opening of commerce lay not merely a calculation of efficiency but a design of a political nature — the conviction that trade could accomplish what arms had not, transforming authoritarian regimes from within, softening their character, and integrating them peacefully into an order of rules and values of Western provenance.
Key questions this report answers
- What is the central argument of “Wandel durch Handel”, and why does it matter for European defence and dual-use markets?
- What does this mean for European defence funding, procurement and investment decisions?
- How mature and defensible is the position described in “Wandel durch Handel”?
- Which European actors, programmes and funding instruments are most exposed?
Who it's for
