European legal and economic security

Lawfare, economic warfare and sanctions

Law is increasingly used as an instrument of power. Extraterritorial sanctions, export controls, investment screening, strategic litigation and trade restrictions can reshape access to markets, technologies and financing.

METRICS examines how European organisations can identify legal and economic coercion, secure strategic assets, organise sanctions compliance and strengthen legal and regulatory sovereignty while accounting for operational, financial and geopolitical risks.

Core issues

  • Weaponisation of law and regulatory warfare
  • Economic coercion and sanctions warfare
  • Extraterritorial sanctions and blocking statutes
  • Export controls and protection of strategic technologies
  • Foreign investment screening and foreign subsidies
  • Strategic litigation and trade defence instruments
  • The Anti-Coercion Instrument and European strategic autonomy
  • Sanctions compliance and cross-border governance
