The EU's punitive tariffs against Chinese electric cars are just the latest example of a larger trend. Since the pandemic at the latest, we have seen a politicisation of the global economy with the aim of increasing resilience, meeting climate policy goals and strengthening competitiveness. Is this development right because it ends the era of neoliberalism, in which too much trust was placed in the power of the markets? Or is this development simply necessary as the USA and China are using such strong levers in terms of industrial policy that Europe can only keep up if it sets itself a strong industrial policy agenda? Or is this development even wrong because it undermines the regulatory framework of the global economic system? In this session, we will discuss the risks and potentials of the intertwining of geopolitics and geoeconomics.
