Causes and Consequences of Today’s Global Economic Upheaval

Lecture title and description forthcoming

Emily Blanchard
Associate Professor of Business Administration
Dartmouth College

We’ve entered a brave new world of managed globalization, with tariffs, sanctions, export controls, industrial subsidies, and investment screening now central to economic statecraft. These policy shifts both respond to and reinforce deeper forces – public skepticism of globalization, rapid technological change, and intensifying strategic rivalry. The result is a more fragmented and politically charged global economy, reshaping the contours of where, how, and with whom value is created.

Emily Blanchard is associate professor of business administration at the Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College, and a leading expert on international economic policy. She served as chief economist of the US Department of State from 2022 to 2023, is a research fellow with the Center for Economic Policy Research, and is a member of the CESifo research network, with research focused on the intersection of international economics and public policy.
