Die EU – eine geostrategische Macht im Werden ?

Hans-Jürgen Bieling

WSI-Mitteilungen, 2023, vol. 76, issue 6, 415-423

Abstract: Globalisation is increasingly becoming precarious. But to what extent do the precariousness of globalisation and the struggle for control of transnational value chains incentivise the EU to appear as a geostrategic, or more precisely: geoeconomic power? This article argues that the changing importance and upgrading of industrial and infrastructure policies point in this direction. To substantiate this argument, first the new topicality of geoeconomic and geopolitical conceptions and strategies is discussed, to then illuminate the programmatic profile of the emerging European geostrategy. The focus is on the specific positioning of the EU in the new triad competition with the USA and China, especially on trade, industrial and infrastructure policy activities that are of fundamental importance for transnational value chains. They are not only related to the European economic area but reach beyond it and acquire a clear geoeconomic orientation.
