Senior Researcher in Economics, Political Sciences
il y a 7 jours
**Company description
You work within the department of DEML of the Faculty of SSMW of the Royal Military Academy. You conduct scientific research at university level on a project entitled 'The new economic statecraft of China and Russia: challenges, costs, and policy implications'. You will also be affiliated to the VUB as a scientific researcher.
You work within a research team and in close collaboration with Prof. Cind Du Bois (RMA) and Prof. Jonathan Holslag (VUB) as well as two junior researchers.
**Description of the function
**In the framework of a research project ¿The new economic statecraft of China and Russia: challenges, costs, and policy implications¿ funded by the Royal Higher Institute of Defense and conducted in collaboration with the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), we are looking for 1 full-time seniorresearcher with a PhD in Economics, Political Sciences or Industrial Relations and with relevant research expertise in the domain.
Study:
Economic Statecraft, the use of economic instruments to pursue foreign policy goals, gains growing attention. As countries like China and Russia increasingly broaden their array of instruments, the distinction between defence, economics, and diplomacy blurs. As illustrated only very recently by the Lithuanian case, this poses significant policy challenges for all European member states. This study project aims to provide sound academic input for policy making. While contributing to the development of the concept of Economic Statecraft, the study also entails an important empirical part identifying the factors that mitigate and/or reinforce the use and effectiveness of ES-instruments.
**Main Tasks**
The key objective of this project is to better understand Russian or/and Chinese statecraft, to model the determinants of success of these policies and hence, to ultimately define and describe its security consequences for Europe. While the project contains an important conceptual and theoretical part, the researchers will permanently interact with relevant stakeholders and seek to support them in decision making. The principal objectives/tasks for the researches are:
- Analysis of the different aspects of Russian or/and Chinese statecraft
- Determining factors of success/effectiveness
- Analysis of the consequences for EU countries
- Policy support
