RIETI-JOGMEC-IDE-JETRO Symposium: Economic Analysis of Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

Featured Event

Amid escalating geopolitical tensions, technological rivalry, and the frequent observation of economic coercion, global supply chains are entering a period of sustained instability. Governments and firms alike now face the challenge of managing risk in a world where disruption is no longer exceptional, but structural. How can economies strengthen resilience without undermining growth? What role should data, public-private cooperation, and international partnerships play in mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities? And how can policymakers balance diversification, substitutability, and strategic autonomy in an era of great-power competition? This symposium brings together researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine supply chain vulnerabilities through granular data analysis, simulation modeling, and real-world case studies, with a particular focus on the issue of overdependence on a limited number of suppliers and the evolving toolkit of economic security policy.
