What are the implications of Russia’s war in Ukraine for the EU defense industry?
How does this peculiar industry work in general?
I address these questions in a cluster for the open science platform te.ma.
I argue that 3 areas of tension characterize the field:
(1) competing visions on EU strategic autonomy,
(2) the preservation of national sovereignty, and
(3) the security dependency on the USA.
The special input (in German) synthesizes much of my ongoing dissertation work on the EU defense industry or rather industries.
