Countering economic coercion

G7 Leaders announced an initiative to counter economic coercion. What might that effort look like? In reports published earlier this year, the Australian Strategic Policy Institute offers ideas for countering China’s coercive diplomacy, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) presents a strategy to deny, deflect, and deter economic coercion, and Victor Cha makes the case for collective resilience in Foreign Affairs. The Economist concludes that Australia faced down economic coercion and came out stronger for it.

Ed Gresser of the Progressive Policy Institute offers options for US-Pacific Islands trade policy.
