Geoeconomics

3 Credits · Level: Graduate

Geoeconomics emphasizes the interaction of economics and politics in the international arena. It highlights the intersection of economic and political competition, the use of economic means to achieve geostrategic goals, and the linkage between economic and political strategy. States, firms, and other actors are using geoeconomic strategies in an increasingly wide range of domains today. The study and theory of geoeconomics is evolving from its traditional foci on economic nationalism, economic statecraft, and the weaponization of interdependence within international political economy into a mature field at the intersection of economic policy, statecraft, and the private sector.
