Welcome to ECFR’s special limited podcast series, in which we bring you the most pressing items on Germany’s foreign policy to-do list for its new government!

Episode 3 – Economic Coercion

In our third episode, we’ll discuss Germany’s approach to economic sovereignty and threats of economic coercion.
