A working paper by Dr Mona Paulsen on the subject of economic security was cited today in the Financial Times, in an article discussing the problems of designing and implementing economic security policy. Dr Paulsen's paper, 'The Past, Present, and Potential of Economic Security', disrupts contentions that Cold War-era trade institutions fail to offer stability or predictability in the global economy due to advanced economies’ economic security strategies. Based on Dr. Paulsen’s historical assessment, she develops a conceptual framework that dissects economic security into four categories and explains how governments can – and should – address security ambitions without abandoning coordination and collective goals for the future. She argues that just as there is a concern among advanced economies that existing legal structures are blind to the risks of economic integration, unilateral actions in response to these risks threaten developing countries’ growth capabilities.
