What people are saying

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.” Daniel W. Drezner, The Washington Post – “I do not think I am exaggerating when I say that this will be the most important political economy article published this year. “ Tyler Cowen – “The one concept most valuable for understanding the news today might be … weaponized interdependence.” 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”” Richard Byrne, The Wilson Quarterly., “”Weaponized Interdependence” … was the starter’s pistol for a fundamental reassessment of globalization’s impact on state power.”
