Geopolitical risks, political tensions and the European economy, co-edited with Jan-Egbert Sturm and Amélie Barbier-Gauchard.
This special issue of the European Journal of Political Economy aims to provide theoretical and empirical perspectives on the impact of geopolitical risks and political tensions on the European economy. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis and the start of the US-China trade war, political tensions and geopolitical risks are increasingly recognized as important determinants of economic activity. The influence of these factors will affect the European economy in several dimensions. More specifically, we welcome empirical and theoretical contributions that use rigorous methods (game theory, causal inference, etc.) to answer the following questions What would be the impact of an increase in political tensions between China and the United States on the economies of the members of the European Union? Would this increase in political tensions have different effects for each member? To what extent will political and diplomatic events influence the real and financial sectors of the economy? Is it even possible to quantify political tensions and geopolitical risks?
Keywords:
