Abstract: Abstract First the pandemic and then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have triggered a debate on the vulnerability of global value chains and the importance of ensuring European strategic autonomy. Indeed, the concept of strategic autonomy emerged in the context of common European foreign and security policies (European Council, 2013; European Union Global Strategy, 2016) in a period of political tensions with Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the protectionist policies of the Trump Administration (European Central Bank, 2023).
