How can France become a leader in innovation?
Extraterritoriality, widely used by the United States, combines the fight against global threats with the reinforcement of its economic domination. Faced with US sanctions, Europe sees its sovereignty under threat and must integrate this reality into its economic strategy. How can Europe react?
This report analyzes the future of the EU's Clean Industrial Deal and the place of European industry in a post-carbon world. Based on over 500 interviews, it compares decarbonization strategies and puts forward recommendations for strengthening European competitiveness.
Extraterritoriality is on the increase, particularly in China. Under Xi Jinping, China uses this practice to defend itself against external interference, legitimise its foreign policy and extend its security agenda. Although it is exploring a more offensive approach, its use will depend on the strategic calculations of China's leaders, particularly in the face of international tensions. The European Union must be prepared to respond, in particular by using access to the European market as a deterrent.
Economic security policies and strategies focused on the Indo-Pacific region are gaining increasing attention among policymakers across Europe.

Economic security is an important notion that provides strategic coherence and clarity to the set of defensive, pro-innovation and (so far timid) pro-industry steps that the EU has been taking. It could also provide a convincing selling point to gain wider support across the EU for bolder public policies, including in the area of trade, in a way to guarantee European prosperity and resilience.
