“…This ensures frequent capture by business interests and a pattern of business-government relations characterized by accommodation and co-optation (Jabko & Massoc, 2012). Recent analyses have confirmed that the interpenetration between the public and private sectors allows industries to convince the state to use the European playing field to promote their interests (Ansaloni & Smith, 2018;Clift & McDaniel, 2019). On the contrary, in the British governance ecosystem, the state is more able to autonomously impose its decisions without being excessively concerned by the interests of its business actors (Davis & Walsh, 2016;Weiss, 2020).…”

Recent analyses of international affairs highlight that states are increasingly exploiting the key position of some private industries in critical hubs of global economic networks to gain an advantage over their competitors. The key role of private companies in international competition has also significant implications in the cyber-domain, where private actors are the main owners of data and digital infrastructures. In contrast to those who see a transformative effect of cyber, this article draws on comparative political economy and defense policy to identify two different models of stateindustry relations in the governance of cybersecurity. The theoretical framework distinguishes between public and private governance ecosystems and identifies different hypotheses on how states and industries interact in cybersecurity governance in France and in the UK. The French public governance is characterized by the presence of formal and informal relations between state and industries, a high degree of public investment in the private sector and centralized institutions. France has also used the EU mainly to advance its industrial interests. In contrast, the UK private governance is characterized by more arm's length relations between the state and industries and a less centralized system. Moreover, the UK, differently to France, has not used the EU channel to advance its industryrelated preferences. These results confirm the macro-differences between public and private governance ecosystems and open new relevant avenues to investigate the interplay between political economy structures and European and international pressures in policy-areas with both economic and security implications.

“…The gradual transformation of state‐owned network industries into private companies has not prevented the preservation of informal pathways of interaction between government and corporate actors, often oiled by educational and professional homogeneity (Calcara & Marchetti, 2021, pp. 4–5; Clift & McDaniel, 2021). Private governance ecosystems are instead characterized by standard market relationships and enforceable formal contracts (see Table 2).…”

5G networks are at the center of geopolitical competition. The United States has denounced market leader Huawei's ability to break into allies' sensitive networks and it has tried to convince Europeans to ban the Chinese group from their 5G markets. How are European governments and industries reacting to 5G politicization? This article argues that government-industry interactions in the handling of politically salient issues are mediated by the country's political system. In executive-dominated countries, the government would centralize policymaking. In parliament-dominated countries, the government would delegate politically salient issues to the industry to bypass diffuse powersharing and fragmented coalition-building. The article adds that political economy acts as an intervening variable. In public governance ecosystems, governments and industries interact through informal coordination; in private governance ecosystems, the two actors rely on formal contracting. The empirical analysis focuses on British, Dutch, French, and Italian reactions to 5G politicization, yielding favorable results to the hypotheses.

“…The ambition to enhance the international standing of the euro is reflected in ongoing attempts to address the incomplete nature of monetary union and to deepen European capital markets (Helleiner, 2015, p. 234). These changes have implications for a growing literature on European disintegration, which has sought to capture the ways in which various pressures potentially combine to unravel the EU project (Clift and McDaniel, 2019; Webber, 2014). Adopting a lens that focuses on the interaction between global financial turbulence and the EU can therefore illuminate how new integrative as well as disintegrative pressures have emerged in the context of the post‐crash world (Lavery et al ., 2019).…”

The global context within which European integration takes place is changing. The rise of China continues and the leadership of the USA has come under strain, while the global economy remains trapped in a phase of stagnation. We argue that, to capture these dynamics, EU studies would benefit from tracing the interactions between global order and contemporary dynamics within the EU. European integration has been decisively shaped by two phases of US-led global order in the past. However, we argue that a new global disorder has emerged. The decentring of globalization, geopolitical turbulence, monetary and financial instabilities and ideological fluidity are reshaping the context within which EU integration unfolds. This presents an old European question but under a new set of volatile conditions: how to secure a degree of relative autonomy within a rapidly changing global political economy.
