As economic statecraft continues to grow as a societal-level challenge and opportunity, the evolution of U.S. cyber statecraft offers useful lessons policymakers and practitioners. Drawing on an article by Dr. Jason Blessing, this discussion examines how the development of U.S cyber strategy, policy, operations, and workforce might inform the nation's approach to institutionalizing contemporary economic statecraft. What lessons can be drawn from the integration of government and industry in cybersecurity, and how might those lessons apply to building a more coordinated and resilient economic posture?
