The New National Security Challenge
to the Economic Order
A B ST R ACT. National security policies increasingly threaten the rules that govern trade and in-
vestment flows. This problem is deeper and far mnore intractable than recent high-profile coritro-
versies, such as disputes over the Trump Administration's stee! and aluminum tariffs, suggest.
Governments worldwide have adopted national security policies that address an increasingly wide
artay of risks and vulnerablities, including climate change; p cndemic disease: cybercrime; tenror-
ism: and threats to infrastructure. industry, and the media. These policies are also increasingly
likely to conflict with trade id investment rules. In other vords, while today's high-profile con-
tr oversies center on alleged abuses of national security in economic law, t is the potential for goad
faith hut nwci national security clims that poses a more significant and permanent threat to the
system.
This Article is the first to map rhe new national security challenge amd consider its implica-
tions for reforming rhe economic order. It demonstrates that rhe twenty-rst-century expansion
of national security policy undermines existing models for separating security mesures from or-
dinarv economic regulation. What is needed, it argues, is a nex model for reintegra ing the eco-
nomic order with the national security state. To that end, this Article identifies reforms that allow
for some oversight of increasingly novel national security claims while preserving flexihility for
governments to redefine their security policies in response to tventy-first-century threats.
