“…Shocks stemming from Russia appear to influence Germany's military expenditures [5], while those caused by Australia affect France's, a finding supported also by the diplomatic crisis broke out in 2021, after Australia's decision to renege on a deal with the French military shipyard Naval Group (Staunton and Day, 2022). Also, the interaction detected between France and the UK could be attributed to the Paradox in the Franco-British security relationship [6], while the interplay among Germany, France and the UK could be justified in the context of the Big Three European members, which are provided with impetus for new policies especially in the post-Brexit era (Urbanovská et al ., 2022).…”

PurposeIn this work, the authors analyze the dynamic interdependencies between military expenditures and the real economy for the period 1970–2018, and the authors' approach allows for the existence of dominant economies in the system.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors employ a Network General Equilibrium GVAR (global vector autoregressive) model.FindingsBy accounting for the interconnection among the top twelve military spenders, the authors' findings show that China acts as a leader in the global military scene based on the respective centrality measures. Meanwhile, statistically significant deviations from equilibrium are observed in most of the economies' military expenses, when subjected to an unanticipated unit shock of other countries. Nonetheless, in the medium run, the shocks tend to die out and economies converge to an equilibrium position.Originality/valueWith the authors' methodology the authors are able to capture not only the effect of nearness on a country's military spending, as the past literature has documented, but also a country's defense and economic dependencies with other countries and how a unit's military expenses could shape the spending of the rest. Using state-to-the-art quantitative and econometric techniques, the authors provide robust and comprehensive analysis.

“…Secretary of State Dominic Raab and his German counterpart followed up by signing a joint declaration of intent in June 2021. Some commentators (for example, Urbanovská et al 2022 ) still assess the bilateral relationship between the UK and Germany as underdeveloped in areas such as defence and industrial cooperation. Nevertheless, there is track record of work in place that suggests a mutual desire to develop ties post-Brexit (Wintour 2021 ).…”

Coping flexibly: role reorientation and the UK’s military cooperation with European allies after Brexit

The UK faced a potential loss of influence after the 2016 Brexit referendum. Without a seat in EU institutions and absent from the Common Security and Defence Policy, London lost the opportunity to influence the trajectory of the EU as a security actor. However, the UK remains a heavyweight in European security and has focussed on ways to exercise military and security leadership unencumbered by the constraints of EU membership. It has done so by leveraging its high standing in NATO, by emphasising regional initiatives such as the Joint Expeditionary Force and by reinforcing (and, in some cases, extending) bilateral cooperation with individual European countries. Brexit-induced concerns about the trajectory of UK power and influence opened up space to cooperate with the UK’s European partners in several ways. These trends have been amplified by the UK’s response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
