Description
Webinar Series: War by Other Ledgers
Session 5: Economic Statecraft and the Federal Budget Process
As economic statecraft becomes more integrated with the pursuit of national security strategy objectives, its relationship with military operations is coming into sharper focus. Drawing on an article by Dr. Anita R. Kellogg of the National Defense University, this discussion examines operationalizing economic statecraft by the military, the intelligence community, and the wider interagency. What role should the military play in economic statecraft activities, and how should responsibilities be distributed across government, allies, and the private sector?

About the Series
Throughout US history, American policymakers have acknowledged that economic security is national security. Today the two are enmeshed more than ever before. Critically interdependent global markets, supply chains, and information flows are wound tightly by technology-enabled networks at a scale never experienced across human history. Concerned about the existential stakes of this issue, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and War on the Rocks, a platform for analysis and debate on strategy, defense and foreign affairs, have partnered to elevate this discussion among defense practitioners and national policy circles. Our series, "War by Other Ledgers," will seek to answer these questions, and many more.
