European Strategic Autonomy and the Limits of Liberal Economic Governance

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: This article argues that the EU’s pursuit of Open Strategic Autonomy remains embedded in a liberal economic framework that prioritises market coordination and competitiveness. While this framework has historically underpinned European integration, it constrains the forms of political coordination required for effective strategic autonomy.
