CFIS 24 Background Paper on Panel: Preserving the Battlefield Gap in the Area of Technology – Between Export Control and Outbound Investment Screening  

Prepared by Simon Shargi-Erdmosa, CFIS 24 Programme Sherpa and MA Student at Sciences Po Paris.

The purpose of this Paper is to set the scene and provide the state of play and background information to the participants in Panel 4.

What are and how can the risks which shall be addressed by regulatory regimes such as export control and outbound investment screening be systematically assessed?
What tools to address these risks, and what are the potential spill-over effects? How can we achieve a balance between security concerns and maintaining an open market?
