Since October 7, 2023, Spain has stood out among its European and Atlantic partners for its critical stance on Israeli military operations that violate all rights and humanity in the Gaza Strip. However, the arms relations with Israel accumulated up to that date had not been neutral and were characterized by collaboration, opportunism, and dependency. The bulk of the arms...
The close ties between major arms companies in Europe’s current rearmament phase and some of the world’s (and Spain’s) largest banks reveal a stable, mutually beneficial relationship in which these banks become indispensable partners to the military industry, with arms production wholly dependent on their financing. The symbiosis between arms production and financial support has created a military-industrial financial complex...
The first EDF work programme was launched in 2021. The Call was published during the last quarter of that year, and on 25 January 2023 the list of approved projects was published.

The military sector (armed forces and arms industry) is a major energy consumer, mostly of fossil fuels, which makes it a major greenhouse gas emitter. The military sector is therefore heavily involved in our climate crisis. To assess its carbon footprint, we need to take every phase of the production cycle into consideration, from extraction of the raw materials needed...

The war in Ukraine has accelerated a militarization process within the European Union, which has been slowly simmering since the 2003 security and defense doctrine outlined in the EU High Representative's strategic document "A Secure Europe in a Better World".

The European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), created to prosecute cross-border crime in 2004, has a long history of controversy. In a context where total global forced displacements are increasing by the millions every year, it is worth asking whether this EU-created agency is best placed to ensure the protection of forcibly displaced people. Irrespective of the question of...

Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine turned a widespread social conflict and the armed conflict along the Russia/Ukraine border into a conventional war after the invasion in 2022, contravening the international right to national territorial sovereignty. Like all Western wars, this war has sparked new and old debates at various levels of society. Issues such as the best defence models, involvement...
In October 2017 the Belgian NGO Vredesactie published the report ‘Securing Profits: How the arms lobby is hijacking Europe’s defence policy’.

Climate mitigation and adaptation efforts are chronically underfunded by billions of dollars, deepening the climate crisis and its impacts on citizens around the world.

The European Union has continued to increase the control over the people who enter and leave its borders, making its frontiers more impenetrable by intensifying the physical and mental militarization of those. Concurrently, these last few years there has been an emphasis on what we have badly named “the refugee crisis”: where a lot of people migrate from their country...

The war in Ukraine launched in February 2022 has focused attention on the widespread use of weapons with a specific set of characteristics to bomb military and civilian targets.

As the world’s climate negotiators gather for their annual summit (COP27) in Egypt, military spending is unlikely to be on the official agenda.

Every dollar spent on the...
Several factors are changing, shaping and evolving the security model in cities. This model has been dominated by the doctrine of public order and the use of state security forces to maintain a certain model of order and security. Often this model of order comes to curb and stifle protest, mobilizations and social protests that, nevertheless, have been part of...
In this paper, we specifically address how a "war" is being waged by the enriched Global North against the impoverished Global South, and how the environmental crisis leads to human insecurity which, in many cases, can end up multiplying the escalation of tensions and the outbreak of armed conflicts that affect so many people in many parts of the world....

Exporting arms to Israel contravenes the spirit and letter of the law designed to reduce suffering and instability in many countries.

The European Defence Fund (EDF) and its precursor programmes explicitly aim to strengthen the ‘global competitiveness’ of the technological industrial base of European defence.
