Full Description

Focusing on inward foreign direct investment (FDI) screening, this book provides an in-depth analysis of how European states' economic interactions with China have become a security issue.

Based on 100 interviews with scholars, journalists, policy makers, and politicians from across Europe, the book underscores the importance of the policy making process that led to the adoption of investment screening in European nations for the development of the EU's economic security approach. The book details how the economic security shift in Europe is attributed to changes such as China's growing economic presence, the persistence of non-market practices, the loss of competitiveness, and the use of economic statecraft.
