ZHAW Podcast on Strategic Dependencies: When Economic Interdependence Becomes Geopolitical
How vulnerable are nations when they depend on individual partners for energy, raw materials, technologies, or infrastructure? Prof. Dr. Theocharis Grigoriadis discusses strategic dependencies and how nations can build greater resilience in the ZHAW podcast “Geopolitics in Motion.”
Economic dependencies have long been a geopolitical issue as well. Whether it’s energy supplies, critical raw materials, semiconductors, or vital infrastructure: relying on individual suppliers or technologies can make a nation politically and strategically vulnerable.
In the latest episode of “Geopolitics in Motion,” the podcast from the ZHAW Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness, Prof. Dr. Theocharis Grigoriadis (Free University of Berlin) discusses with Prof. Dr. Florian Keller (ZHAW School of Management and Law) on how such strategic dependencies arise, what risks they entail, and what role diversification and technological alternatives play in the resilience of nations.
A concise and up-to-date analysis of a topic that increasingly intertwines economics, technology, and geopolitics.
