Study on the industrial implications in Europe of the blurring of dividing lines between security and defence
Lo studio, finanziato dalla Direzione generale Imprese e Industria della Commissione europea, si propone di analizzare le ricadute in campo industriale e nel mercato della difesa della progressiva sovrapposizione dei concetti di sicurezza e difesa, sia a livello europeo che in Italia, Francia, Germania e Gran Bretagna. Lo studio è stato condotto dall'Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI) in collaborazione con Manchester Institute of Innovation Research (MIOIR) e Institut des relations internationales et stratégiques (IRIS).
