Global Strategic Finance Initiative

The U.S.-led uni-polar financial era is ending. Rapidly shifting capital flows in the resulting multi-polar financial world present a new set of challenges and opportunities for the United States. As the pace of change increases, the nation cannot afford to remain complacent about U.S. leadership in global finance and capital markets. These changes demand more than new regulation or trade policies. They demand new thinking.

The Global Strategic Finance Initiative, which is sponsored jointly by the Economic Growth Program and American Strategy Program, will address the fast changing relationship between global capital flows, financial markets, foreign policy and national security. The Initiative seeks to propose both overall strategies and specific steps to ensure that the US uses all the tools at its disposal to maximize power and influence. This is a new global era where other nations are increasingly using financial tools, in addition to traditional diplomacy, trade and military power, to further their interests. It is imperative that the US do the same.

The Global Strategic Finance Initiative is co-directed by Douglas Rediker and Heidi Crebo-Rediker.
