Navigating Global Interdependence: Enhancing Economic Resilience in the Transatlantic Space

Authoritarian regimes increasingly use economic coercion to influence democracies. Their shift in tactics responds to the interconnectedness of global markets, which they exploit to advance strategic interests. Economic power is now a weapon that replaces or supplements the military aggression authoritarians use to control and constrain others, and democracies worldwide must recognize the threat and protect their economic sovereignty and stability. This report offers new insights and builds on knowledge gathered over the past four decades in collaboration with our extensive network of global partners. The authors share clear and realistic recommendations for business and government leaders to boost economic resilience.
