Dear users, today we have a very personal request. We have decided to offer our learning materials free of charge because we believe in an open, pluralist economic science that is available to everyone, worldwide. We do this without advertising because we want to remain independent of commercial interests. But our commitment to independence and open access also has its price. Every year we have large costs for programming, staff and to support our authors. If everyone reading this gave a small amount, we could keep Exploring Economics thriving for years to come - but 99% of our users don't give. So today we ask you to protect Exploring Economics's independence. The heart and soul of Exploring Economics is a community of people working to bring you unlimited access to high-qualitiy, economic learning and teaching material. Please take just a few moments to help us keep Exploring Economics going. Thank you!

The EU’s geo-economic revolution

European Council of Foreign Relations, 2022
The article by the European Council of Foreign Relations argues that Europe's economic actions in response to the Russian invasion into Urkaine have been decisive, different from the EU's external image, but that this response should yet be better institutionalized. The author Hackenbroich proposes an Anti-Coercion Instrument on the EU level which could serve as means of deterrence, also vis-á-vis other power blocks.
Comment from our editors:
The ECFR is one of several institutes which have been dealing with and also promoting ideas of geo-economic strategies for the EU. Faced with increased Chinese direct investments and the deterioriating relationship to the US under Trump, they argued that next to more classical security policies, economic measures, including i.a. strengthening the Euro as a currency and investment controls, should be taken into consideration.
