Economic Warfare: A Foundation for Twenty-First-Century Strategic Practice

For over a decade and a half, concerns and tensions between states have been arising over the use of the economic domain in the peer-to-peer competition between large powers. This collaborative study highlights the duration of the concept of economic warfare, which is at the heart of the current debates and analysis regarding what the intent of economic warfare is; what methods should be used in economic warfare; who within a nation’s national security apparatus should direct economic-warfare efforts; how the phenomenon is both a defensive and an offensive activity; and how economic influence pervades all aspects of a state’s thinking about national security.

At a time when geopolitical rivalry and competition over critical mineral supply chains have become central to international security, this book offers a timely and important examination of the enduring role of economic warfare in contemporary international relations.

The book is available for free download, giving attendees the opportunity to explore its key arguments before the event and engage fully in the discussion.
