Building New Partnerships in the Indo-Pacific Download Policy Paper - Deploying Europe’s Economic Security Policy in the Indo-Pacific Region (54 pages) Economic security policies and strategies focused on the Indo-Pacific region are gaining increasing attention among policymakers across Europe. However, the potential link between these two emerging areas of public policy remains largely underexplored, despite the tangible opportunities the Indo-Pacific framework presents for enhancing economic security.DescriptionEconomic security is a relatively new and still evolving concept which includes public policies aimed at reducing our vulnerabilities to risks, especially in the following areas:- Supply chain resilience - Critical infrastructures - Technology transfers - Economic coercionWith initiatives like the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) and the Quad, the region is becoming a crucial area for adressing economic security issues.However, European states and the EU remain ont the sidelines of these coalitions and have yet to fully integrate the Indo-Pacific into their economic security policiesBuilding New Partnerships in the Indo-PacificThis policy paper addresses each of the four pillars central to the European economic security agenda, offering tailored recommendations to enhance their effectiveness and identifying key partners European states can engage with.It advocates for viewing the Indo-Pacific not only as a geographical concept but also as a strategic horizon for building new partnerships of diversification. By integrating economic security with the Indo-Pacific, the logic of diversification partnerships can gain greater traction and offer tangible opportunities to European actors, public and private, contributing to the construction of a European economic foreign policy.The Observatory of Multilateralism in the Indo-Pacific is a research and events program initiated by the Directorate General for International Relations and Strategy (DGRIS) of the French Ministry of Armed Forces. Institut Montaigne contributes to this major program alongside two other French think tanks, the Foundation for Strategic Research (FRS) and the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), as well as two French academic institutions, Sciences Po and Inalco.
