Session 2: Economic Statecraft and the Federal Institutional Architecture
This webinar session builds on an article by Dr. Will Norris that explores who across the U.S. federal government oversees and carries out economic statecraft activities, notably with regard to national security concerns. Which government entities have economic statecraft authorities and responsibilities? Who is in charge, overall? What should the lines of authority look like? Who decides which economic statecraft tools are wielded and when? How should offensive and defense economic activities be prioritized?
