Jean Pisani-Ferry, former Director of Bruegel – “But as the political scientists Henry Farrell and Abraham L. Newman pointed out in a fascinating recent paper, a network structure provides considerable leverage to whoever controls its nodes.” François Heisbourg (former Director of the International Institute for Strategic Studies) – “I can’t remember using the word “seminal” on Twitter before but it definitely applies to the Farrell+Newman piece, Weaponized Interdependence” The Economist – “[It is tempting for] hardliners in Washington to “weaponise interdependence”, as Henry Farrell of George Washington University and Abraham Newman of Georgetown University put it in a recent influential paper. Tim Harford, Financial Times – “Henry Farrell and Abraham Newman have popularised the term “weaponised interdependence””
