Drawing on an article by Dr. Jen Buss, CEO of the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, this discussion examines what an economic statecraft practitioner should look like and what is needed to build a sustainable pipeline for the field. What roles should academia, government, and the private sector play in preparing the next generation of economic statecraft professionals?
