Economic Security
The Center’s economic security program explores the nexus between international financial, trade and technology flows and traditional U.S. national security policy concerns.

A nation can choose a variety of methods in applying economic power. Liberal or restrictive trade policies can open up or deny markets to the other nations of the world. Restricting odious foreign organizations from raising money from US sources and forbidding US companies from doing business with state sponsors of terrorism are two currently used economic tools.
