It seems clear that the newly inaugurated US president Trump has a philosophy on trade wars: they are good and easy to win. Tina Fordham, Alex von Tunzelmann and Elisabeth Braw join us to discuss whether the history of trade wars can tell us anything about how to wage one. And are these new economic tussles really anything remarkable, or just part of a wider backlash against globalisation?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
8 januari. Under julhelgen angreps än en gång viktiga kablar på havsbotten, den här gången i Finska viken. Hur ska Sverige och Nato agera för att skydda viktig infrastruktur i Östersjön? Elisabeth Braw, senior Fellow vid tankesmedjan Atlantic Council, och Niklas Granholm, forskningsledare på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut, diskuterar med Andreas Ericson.
Sverige står inför ett jättebeslut. Politikerna måste bestämma om Sverige ska fortsätta utveckla stridsflygplan, eller inte. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Senaste gången Sverige diskuterade ett vägval för stridsflyget var i slutet på 70- och början på 80-talet. Då ville regeringen med Ola Ullsten som statsminister lägga ned utvecklingen av stridsflyg i Sverige, och det var på väg att bli så.– Det var ju ganska nära egentligen inför att Gripen, den första versionen, skulle börja utvecklas. Det var inte så långt bort att det blev ett amerikanskt flygplan istället, säger Martin Lundmark som är lektor på institutionen för försvarssystem på Försvarshögskolan. För Saab som bygger planen är beskedet en katastrof så de tar fram en lösning som de hoppas ska få politikerna att ändra sig. Ett helt nytt plan för jakt, attack och spaning: JAS. Det lyckas. 1982 fattar riksdagen beslutet att Saab ska fortsätta att utveckla nästa stridsflyg som blir Jas Gripen. Nu, drygt 40 år senare, är det dags för en ny debatt.– Alltså det här är miljarder med skattepengar vi pratar om, säger Per Olsson som är försvarsekonom på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut, FOI.Före år 2030 ska politikerna bestämma sig för hur nästa stridsflyg ska tas fram. Det finns tre alternativ: Låta Saab tillverka även nästa plan, utveckla ett plan med andra länder eller köpa ett från utlandet. Det finns ett starkt politiskt stöd i riksdagen för att låta Saab fortsätta att utveckla svenska stridsflyg men det pågår en utredning av alternativen som ska ligga till grund för beslutet.Obemannade stridsflygPå Saab pågår redan tester av tekniken i framtidens stridsflyg som ska tas i drift när Jas Gripen E pensioneras efter år 2050. En fråga är om nästa stridsflyg ska ha piloter ombord.– Jag tror att vi kommer att se obemannade inom ett antal år som flyger bredvid bemannade. Så vi kommer att se en mix av obemannat och bemannat på resan framåt, säger Peter Nilsson som är chef för en del av Saab som heter Advanced Programs med cirka 250 anställda. De har fått i uppgift av svenska staten att titta på hur nästa svenska stridsflyg kan se ut.Saab ska testa en prototyp för ett obemannat flygplan och en massa andra saker. Det handlar om 3D-printade metaller, AI i cockpiten för att avlasta piloten, med mera.För Saab skulle det vara en katastrof om företaget inte fick fortsätta att tillverka svenska stridsflyg, men oavsett vilket beslut politikerna landar i kommer det få stora effekter för Sverige.– Sverige är ju ett av de väldigt få länder som tillverkar stridsplan och detta är ju någonting som gör Sverige ganska unikt i världen överhuvudtaget, säger Elisabeth Braw som är seniorforskare i säkerhetspolitik på tankesmedjan Atlantic Council.Medverkande:Martin Lundmark, lektor på FörsvarshögskolanPer Olsson, försvarsekonom på Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitutElisabeth Braw, seniorforskare på tankesmedjan Atlantic CouncilPeter Nilsson, Chef för Advanced Programs på SaabProgramledare: Karin Hållsten och Claes AronssonProducent: Kalle GlasLjud från: Sveriges Radio, SVT

Drones buzzing airbases and HMS Queen Elizabeth. Undersea cables cut. Mysterious parcel fires at air-freight depots. These have all been described as hybrid, grey-zone, or sub-threshold attacks against the UK and it's allies.But if they are all below the threshold of an act of war, where does that threshold lie?Sitrep explores the use of deniable attacks, from disruption and disinformation to assassination and bomb plots. How do we defend against them, deter enemies from even trying, and stand up to international bullying?Kate Gerbeau and Professor Michael Clarke talk to grey-zone expert Elisabeth Braw, former military intelligence officer Colonel Philip Ingram, and Tan Dhesi MP who chairs the Commons Defence Committee.

Russia's Shadow Tankers Threaten an Environmental Catastrophe in the Baltic. And now a Maltese-flagged cargo ship filled with 20,000 tonnes of Russian sourced ammonium nitrate in drifting towards the UK coast. This is the same potentially explosive fertiliser that caused a massive explosion in Beirut in 2020, and this ship is carrying 7 times more of this dangerous cargo. Understandably it has been rejected permission to dock by several countries. So, what kind of threats does the Kremlin's shadow fleet pose to the environment as well as the global maritime order? ---------- Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the Atlanric council. She is also a columnist with Foreign Policy, where she writes on national security and the globalised economy.

In this episode, Dr. Miah Hammond-Errey is joined by Elisabeth Braw. This discussion explores the decline in globalisation and an increasingly divided world with the West on one side and China and Russia on another. It highlights the impacts of geopolitical rifts on technology, innovation, business, supply chain vulnerabilities and complexities, subsea cables and infrastructure as well as consumer prices and job market changes. They also discuss the tech sector, the role of technology in warfare, and the implications of foreign investments in critical infrastructure as well as hybrid threats, information operations and resilience and national security responses. This episode provides a nuanced exploration of how the convergence of technology, security, and geopolitics shapes our world. Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a member of the National Preparedness Commission in the UK a columnist and author.

TS is a podcast exploring the intersections of emerging technologies and national security. I'm your host, Doctor Miah Hammond-Errey. My guest today is Elisabeth Braw. Elisabeth is a senior fellow at the Atlantic Council and a columnist for Foreign Policy and Politico Europe. Her work focuses on hybrid and grey zone threats, as well as the intersection of geopolitics and globalisation. She's a member of the National Preparedness Commission in the UK, and has previously held numerous high profile senior research fellow positions in the US and Europe. She recently published Goodbye Globalization The Return of a Divided World and is the author of two earlier books, The Defender's Dilemma and one about East Germany's secret police called God's Spies. So happy to have you here, Elisabeth. Elisabeth Braw: [00:00:57] It's a pleasure to join you. Dr Miah Hammond-Errey: [00:00:58] I'm coming to you today from the lands of the Gadigal people. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging here and wherever you're listening. We acknowledge their continuing connection to land, sea, and community and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. Dr Miah Hammond-Errey: [00:01:17] So you're joining me today after an extensive book tour for Goodbye, Globalization The Return of a Divided World. What are the key questions you're being asked at those events? Elisabeth Braw: [00:01:28] I think the the most frequently asked question is what that means. Uh, what is this standoff and growing, um, disharmony between the West? Uh, on one hand and and some sort of loose grouping of China and Russia on the other. And what it means not just for companies, not just for countries, but for for us as ordinary people. What is clear, I think, from a citizen perspective, is that if globalisation stops working as well as as it did in in the early 2000, which was really the, the peak of, of globalized harmony, if that's no longer there, which is already the case, then eventually it will lead to higher consumer prices. So we as ordinary citizens have benefited from this extraordinary commercial integration of nations of all types and varieties. And now the two of the most important participants in that globalized economy, Russia and China, are each, for their own reasons, not as fully integrated as they used to be. And Russia is, is, is, uh, essentially shut out of the globalized economy and operating in a parallel economy. And, uh, China is for completely different reasons, um, not as hospitable a country as it used to be for Western businesses. And all of this together means that, uh. It will be more expensive to do business to produce the goods that you and I and everybody else use. Every day we will see a return of of jobs, high quality jobs, and and especially manufacturing to our countries at the same time as we'll see high consumer prices. We will see lots of changes ahead. And I think that's why it's so it's a subject that is so interesting to, to all kinds of people, not just business people, not just policy types, but basically anybody who lives in in a modern economy. Dr Miah Hammond-Errey: [00:03:29] What do you see as the biggest issues within that framing for technology and security? Elisabeth Braw: [00:03:33] So the technology that we have today is, is, is the result of extraordinary development, innovation, uh, over the past 40 years. Uh, and I'm sure your listeners remember Parc Palo Alto Research Center, which is where a lot of this began back a decades ago. And then from, uh, the late 80s and especially from the 90s onwards, we had this extraordinary rise of technology, which is, of course, so ubiquitous today that that we as ordinary citizens, uh, spend essentially every, every hour of every day connected to technology somehow or using technology somehow. And, and that worked so well because it took place in conjunction with globalisation, borders were becoming less important and almost faded away. Um, we also had peace between, uh, yeah, the world's most important countries and that, uh, of course, facilitated collaboration. So you could be a citizen of any of the world's countries and work for any technology company and indeed do business almost anywhere. Uh, and that is no longer the case. The standoff between the US and China, in particular, uh, centers a lot on technology. And interestingly, tech bosses have been the slowest to catch on to this geopolitical shift because they they have come to, uh, they've had that formative experience in, in a completely integrated world. And I think they just can't conceptualize that geopolitics should be able to affect the way they do business because they don't feel geopolitical. Well, it doesn't matter whether you feel geopolitical. The world is becoming more geopolitical, whereas more old fashioned, uh, or the bosses in more traditional sectors, manufacturing and so forth. I think they've been, uh, faster to catch on to this because they, they are seeing, uh, the reality on the ground. Whereas tech bosses, I think, are thinking that in a shorter perspective. Either way, they have been the slowest, among the slowest to catch on to this new trend. And, um. That's why they're having such a painful learning experience at the moment. Dr Miah Hammond-Errey: [00:05:59] The podcast has a new segment for 2024 called Interdependencies and Vulnerabilities. Given its centrality to your w...

After the Cold War, globalization accelerated at breakneck speed. Manufacturing, transport, and consumption defied national borders, companies made more money, and consumers had access to an ever-increasing range of goods. But in recent years, a profound shift has begun to take place. Business executives and politicians alike are realising that globalization is no longer working. Supply chains are imperilled, Russia has been expelled from the global economy after its invasion of Ukraine, and China is using these fissures to leverage a strategic advantage. Given these pressures, what will the future of our world economy look like? ---------- Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the Atlanric council.

On this week's podcast, host Iain Martin speaks to Elisabeth Braw, senior fellow at Atlantic Council and author of the new book Goodbye Globalisation. Since the end of the Cold War, many saw the adoption of market economies by previously communist countries as a sign that a liberal democratic system of government had prevailed definitively over authoritarian and totalitarian regimes. Those who argued for globalisation said that if goods, services and dollars crossed borders, then soldiers would not. But the world is changing again. War has returned to Europe with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the US and China are at loggerheads over Taiwan and there's the Middle East once again in crisis. There are concerns about supply chains and the viability of the global trading system. All themes addressed in Goodbye Globalisation. Iain and Elisabeth discuss the development of globalisation, the philosophy underpinning it, the huge financial and cultural successes, its increasing volatility, whether it will last and what financial system might replace it.
Flera havsområden är tickande säkerhetsbomber och när sjöfarten i Röda havet är under attack ställs nya krav på den svenska marinen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. – När handelssjöfarten inte kan röra sig fritt på havet, då tycker jag faktiskt att vi blir hotat, säger Ewa Skoog Haslum, Sveriges marinchef.Nu, den här gången, är det i Röda havet som Huthirebeller attackerar handelsfartyg som de kopplar till Israel. Men marinchefen menar att man måste kunna försvara sig mot den typen av attacker även i svenska vatten.– Det skulle ju kunna ske här också. Det är svårt att inse. Men vill man påverka sjöfarten så som man gör i Röda havet så skulle man kunna göra det även här.Ewa Skoog Haslum har länge velat se en större svensk marin. Den önskan delas av Anders Hermansson som är vd på Svensk Sjöfart. Båda ser en utmaning i att den svenska kusten är lång, men marinen förhållandevis liten.– Vi i Sverige måste nu verkligen fundera om vi har tillräcklig förmåga att skydda den för Sverige så viktiga sjöfarten. Vår bedömning är att förmodligen har vi inte det i Sverige idag, säger Anders Hermansson. Marinchefen menar att det inte är Försvarsmakten själva som står för skyddet av sjöfarten, utan att det sker tillsammans med bland annat andra myndigheter. Men skulle Sverige misslyckas med skyddet blir priset högt. Sverige är beroende av sjöfart och om exporten och importen till svenska hamnar skulle blockeras av en potentiell fiende är risken stor för att den grundläggande försörjningen inte kan upprätthållas.En kamp om att bli vågornas mästareDet är inte bara i Röda havet som det just nu är oroligt. I Sydkinesiska havet är läget också spänt. Kina rustar upp sin marin rejält och gör anspråk på stora havsområden. Delar av Svarta havet är en krigszon efter Rysslands fullskaliga invasion av Ukraina. Och i området kring Arktis pågår en slags kamp om vem som blir vågornas mästare när isen smält.– Ordningen på världens hav håller på att kollapsa, alltså den regelbaserade världsordningen håller på att kollapsa, och den kollapsar allra snabbast på världens hav, säger Elisabeth Braw som är forskare och säkerhetsexpert på tankesmedjan Atlantic council.Rättelse: I en tidigare version av podden sa vi att Sverige har Europas längsta kust, det ska givetvis vara Östersjöns längsta kust.

(14:58) And finally: is the customer – in fact – always wrong? The old maxim is that the customer is always right. But Quentin Letts, sketch writer for the Daily Mail, says that the adage has been reversed in recent times. It seems instead that the customer is always wrong, or can never be right.

As the Houthis attack ships in the Red Sea, Arthur Snell and Jason explore: 1) How this horrible crisis is actually an opportunity to create a coalition of orderers; 2) how Iran is not really able to use the Houthis as a proxy; 3) how one interpretation of the Houthi actions is as ‘global disordering' rather than specifically supporting the Palestinians or a given outcome in Gaza; and 4) how there is an opportunity for a uniquely constructive role for Britain, drawing on its credibility and experience in protecting global shipping especially in a context where China refuses to engage.

Vytautas Landsbergis led the modern Lithuanian independence movement in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Lithuania became the first of the fifteen Soviet Republics to declare independence from Moscow. This was a remarkably plucky move from such a small nation, but it changed the course of world history; two years later, Lithuania was an independent country, and the Soviet Union no longer existed.Thirty years later, Lithuania is once again looking east at a Russia probably intent on swallowing up the Baltics again. Lithuania is a strong democracy, and is probably more steadfast and serious about its democracy than many other countries in the West. And there's probably good reason for this; it knows democracy has maintenance costs, and it knows what it costs to leave democracy fall into disrepair. My guest today is Elisabeth Braw. Elisabeth is a Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she focuses on deterrence against emerging forms of aggression. She is also an Associate Fellow at the European Leadership Network, and writes for Foreign Policy and Politico Europe. She also has a book coming out in February called Goodbye Globalisation.

In 2023, the digital realm isn't so much a portal as it is the undercurrent of our lives: The web carries our culture, our communication, our bank accounts — and, yes, our global security.
