Research Areas
Defence Economics & Strategic Autonomy
We examine how defence spending, procurement, industrial capacity and lifecycle sustainment shape fiscal resilience, defence readiness and strategic autonomy.
Geoeconomics & Economic Security
We analyse how trade, sanctions, investment, economic coercion and strategic dependencies are used to pursue economic and security objectives.
Industrial Policy & Strategic Industries
We study how industrial policy, state support, strategic sectors and resilient supply chains strengthen productive capacity and economic security.
Geopolitical Risk & Financial Markets
We investigate how wars, crises and geopolitical shocks are transmitted through defence equities, sovereign debt, capital flows and investor behaviour.
Technology, Infrastructure & Investment Security
We examine the security implications of FDI screening, critical infrastructure, dual-use technologies, telecommunications and other strategically sensitive assets.
Cross-Cutting Research
DESGRI encourages projects that move across disciplinary boundaries—for example linking critical minerals to defence industry, or foreign investment to technology security and international political economy.
