SIPRI Roundtable on Security-Development Integration (sipri.org)

• Assessment of development aid as a component of state security
• Analysis of integrated policy approaches in fragile environments
• Strategic focus on long-term regional stability

"SIPRI hosted a high-level roundtable at the Paris Defence and Strategy Forum evaluating the convergence of development cooperation and national security. The session analyzed how development initiatives are increasingly leveraged as strategic tools to stabilize geopolitical flashpoints and bolster European resilience through long-term partnerships rather than purely reactive defense postures."
