- The Economic Statecraft Program Supports the Development of ES Doctrine
-
This summer, at the request of the Department of Defense, the Economic Statecraft Program (ESP) – led by Dr. Will Norris – supported the development of US economic statecraft (ES) doctrine to guide policy and strategic organization. The document defined economic statecraft and areas of application, built on a previous project called the National Economic Statecraft Organization Charts (NESOC), which map the US agencies and departments with legal authority to engage in economic statecraft, and compiled an original dataset of contemporary cases of ES. This doctrine also provided a detailed framework of strategic effects and economic domains to support improved coordination across the US interagency and more effective policies to support US competitiveness in critical industries.

This summer the Economic Statecraft Program concluded another successful undergraduate internship initiative.
