Listen "Achieving Geopolitical Objectives: Andrew Grotto on American “Economic Statecraft”"
Episode Synopsis
Curtailing strife and safeguarding America’s global standing requires military strength, diplomatic reach, a gravitational pull to the concepts of liberty and opportunity, and a strategy for economic growth beyond America’s shores. Andrew Grotto, a Hoover visiting fellow and veteran of two past White House national security teams, discusses the white paper he co-authored with Hoover’s H.R. McMaster on the need for a more structured and coordinated approach to US foreign policy, as well as how “economic statecraft” applies to settling the current wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and how to win America’s “great power competition” with China (which includes a global economic component missing from the last century’s Cold War rivalry with the Soviet Union).
