Abstract: We stress-test the European Defence Readiness in a Cold War 2.0 scenario analysis. Leveraging a general equilibrium multi-sector approach to the global economy, we simulate an abrupt decoupling from CRINK and evaluate impacts on defence readiness under changed future boundary conditions. Our results suggest that the defence industrial mobilisation, force mobility and sustained resilience readiness are largely off-track in view of the European Defence Readiness - defined as a steady state of preparedness. By quantifying the cost of unpreparedness, our results provide a measurable rationale for European allies to embark on a gradual de-risking trajectory rather than waiting for a much more costly abrupt shock trigger dictated by geopolitical events.
