This meeting series is designed to bring Council members together in a small seminar environment to discuss new and innovative thinking at the intersection of economics and foreign policy.

America's ability to encourage innovative ideas has helped to establish it as the world's economic and military leader. However, technological developments over the past thirty years have spawned an increasingly globalized world and created new challenges to American pre-eminence. This roundtable series investigates how the government's response to these challenges will affect America's global economic and political standing.

This roundtable series explores current issues at the intersection of U.S. foreign policy and private sector activity. Meetings in the past have focused on the possible effects of anti-Americanism in Europe on U.S. brands, the negotiations between the European Union and the United States over genetically modified foods, and the impact of the European Union's satellite navigation system (Galileo) on U.S. strategic interests. The aim of the series is to inform the current debate on those policies important to both corporate executives and government officials, and to provide them with constructive and thoughtful recommendations.

Made possible by the generosity of Bernard L. Schwartz, this roundtable series explores issues that affect the competitiveness of the U.S. economy. Meetings have addressed issues such as the sustainability of the U.S. current account deficit, the effectiveness of the WTO dispute settlement process, and intellectual property rights.

This roundtable series explored the influence of multinational corporations and business leaders in the Middle East and North Africa and discussed whether the private sector, as a byproduct of its operations, could influence development.

Financial markets, institutions, and instruments are playing an increasing role in American foreign policy, both as servants of traditional foreign policy aims, such as national security, and as objects, in their own right, of foreign trade and market access negotiations. Tensions and contradictions abound in this formulation, and are apparent in fierce policy debates over the merits of IMF bailouts, dollarization, financial sanctions, and market access restrictions. The project director is writing a book that examines the growing role of finance in foreign policy, why it is important, where its effects are misunderstood, and how institutional reforms can help in managing incompatible goals. Sessions of this study group will provide feedback on draft chapters.

This roundtable series examines the prospects for regional monetary integration and other developments likely to affect the organization and functioning of the international monetary system.
