New framework models indirect geoeconomic influence via political economy restructuring

Researchers have developed a new framework using switching dynamical systems to analyze indirect geoeconomic influence. This model allows a sender to influence a target nation by restructuring its internal political economy, rather than directly altering policies. The framework distinguishes between a permissive mode, where influence is transmitted, and a contested mode, entered when the target detects the mechanism. The sender designs the mechanism to manage the transition into the contested mode, optimizing for compliance, time to threshold, and durability. AI

IMPACT Introduces a novel framework for analyzing influence, potentially applicable to AI-driven geopolitical strategy.

    Indirect Geoeconomic Influence: A Switching Dynamical Systems Framework for Mechanism Design

    We develop a formal framework for analyzing indirect geoeconomic influence. The influencing state (sender) does not attempt to change a target nation's policy directly. Instead, the sender restructures the target's internal political economy so that its own citizens, firms, and i…
