Economic Statecraft in the Age of Trump

摘要

Economic statecraft has been at the heart of US foreign policy since the founding of the republic. From the 1807 Embargo Act to the Open Door policies, from the Marshall Plan to the Global Magnitsky Act, US policymakers have wielded economic carrots and sticks to advance the national interest. This has been particularly true since the end of the Cold War. The centrality of the United States to global finance has enhanced American power and made sanctions more appealing to policymakers.
