Financial markets, industry and regulation have become the front lines of foreign policy. The Atlantic Council’s new Economic Statecraft Initiative leverages deep sectoral expertise in sanctions, trade, investment, and finance to examine how America and its partners navigate policies based less on strategies than fine print, and how governments can work arm-in-arm with the private sector.

Join the Atlantic Council on Wednesday, December 1 for a morning of conversation with White House leadership, industry executives, and leading academics and journalists on issues ranging from US-EU regulatory cooperation on China and the future of combatting illicit finance, to how the US frames national policy when economics—not traditional security—plays the most important role.
