Geoeconomics and Economic Statecraft

Pacific Forum’s Geoeconomics and Economic Statecraft Program examines the intersection of economic policy, trade and development assistance, critical technologies, and supply chains across the Indo-Pacific—with a focus on artificial intelligence, semiconductors, supply chain resilience, and the growing weaponization of economic interdependence. 

Through research, fellowships, seminars, and high-level convenings across Northeast and Southeast Asia, the program advances: 

• Semiconductor and critical technology policy, including export controls 

• Trusted supply chain and near-shoring strategies 

• Development of emerging experts through targeted fellowship programs 

The program builds regional capacity and fosters coordination among allies and partners on the economic security challenges defining today’s strategic landscape.
