How might increased defense spending in France impact economic growth and employment, and what challenges could arise?

The "ReArme Europe" plan signifies a shift toward European strategic autonomy in defense, spurred by geopolitical instability and a perceived weakening of US commitment to European security. This increased investment in French defense capabilities, particularly in high-tech systems and space technology, aims to reduce dependence on external actors while fostering economic growth. France's established defense industry and expertise in areas like 'systems of systems' are central to this strategy.

What are the historical precedents for the framing of Chinese infrastructure investments in Latin America as a military threat?

This narrative, rooted in historical precedents of 'prescriptive geopolitics' (Mackinder, Haushofer, Kissinger), constructs strategic locations by associating them with threats. The sale exemplifies this by shifting control to a US entity, ostensibly mitigating a perceived Chinese military threat. This approach ignores the potential benefits for Panama and Peru.
