Organisation profile
In the Brussels Centre for Geo-economics, research is centralized around economic safety in the broad interpretation of the word. Some of the recent publications focus on
- The backlash effect of military action and on the economics of terrorism.
- The use of economics as both an instrument and a target of warfare.
- The evolution of the economic dimensions of warfare, displaying the distinction between classic conventional warfare, irregular warfare and the contemporary shift towards hybrid and unconventional warfare.
- The influence of groups and socio economic networks on public decision-making
