Vittorio Martinucci: geopolitics and defence spending

Junior Fellow at Centro Studi Geopolitica.info, in the Europe Programme. I apply the tools of tax and accounting analysis to public finance and defence policy: how resources are counted, what the data measure, and what room EU fiscal rules create.

Topics

Defence spending

NATO data, Eurostat COFOG and the Italian state budget: scope, timing of recording, comparability.

EU fiscal rules

The national escape clause, the net expenditure path, SAFE loans and their effect on deficit and debt.

Taxation and security

Levies by armed groups, public costs of hybrid threats, tax readings of strategic issues.

Expertise

Alongside tax and accounting expertise, I bring knowledge of military, strategic and tactical affairs.
