Josselin Droff<\/strong> and Julien Malizard<\/strong>, Researchers at the Chair, publish in the journal Defence and Peace Economics<\/em> an article co-authored with Maxime Menuet<\/strong>, Associate researcher at the Chair.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The article, entitled \u00ab\u00a0Military Operations Abroad in the Long Run: An Economic Approach<\/em> \u00bbA theoretical model analysing the sustainability of military operations over time.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Over the last few decades, a number of Western countries have embarked on a series of military operations abroad<\/strong>, This sometimes involves excessive military commitments, such as the fight against terrorist organisations, peacekeeping operations or humanitarian interventions. These postures pose a high risk to the future deployment capacity<\/strong> and on the ability to ensure a strategy of deterrence to long term<\/strong>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The article proposes a theoretical model in which military capability is analysed as a stock variable<\/strong> who can regenerate or, on the contrary, burn out<\/strong> when a country engages in a military operation abroad. In it, the authors present a \u00absustainability theorem\u00bb, with the identification of tipping points in the conduct of military operations<\/strong>. In particular, excessive involvement in military operations can lead to a form of demilitarisation syndrome.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The model describes and formalises a fundamental trade-off between a country's economic conditions and its strategic ambitions. It sheds light on the dynamics of the military capabilities of major Western military powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands and France.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The authors suggest several ways of combating the loss of military capabilities:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
