FSI researchers strive to understand how countries relate to one another, and what policies are needed to achieve global stability and prosperity. International relations experts focus on the challenging U.S.-Russian relationship, the alliance between the U.S. and Japan and the limitations of America’s counterinsurgency strategy in Afghanistan.
On the Future Agenda for Economic Policy
The goal of this conference/workshop is to bring together a high level group of economists, political scientists and business economists to discuss the future agenda of economic policy. The interventionist approach to economic policy has been abandoned for a more market type agenda in the nineties, however to a different degree across the countries in the triad. Governments and constituencies continued to be faced by old problems, and additionally were challenged by new ones. The conference investigates whether there is a common agenda in the US, Europe, and East Asia, how far priorities about objectives and consensus about instruments exist, and whether this set of goals and instruments will lead to consensus or conflict in the global economy. Participation is by invitation only, and intensive discussion and communication gets the priority over long papers and a large audience.
