War by Other Ledgers: Economic Statecraft and the Federal Institutional Architecture
- Potomac Institute for Policy Studies
This webinar 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?
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.
Speakers
Madeline Field, Assistant Editor, War on the Rocks
Dr. Will Norris, Associate Professor and Program Director for the Economic Statecraft Program at The Bush School, Texas A&M University
Dr. Tim Welter, Senior Research Fellow, Potomac Institute for Policy Studies
