You’re invited to attend a virtual session for prospective students to learn more about the Schar School of Policy and Government and our graduate programs. This event highlights faculty from our Master's in International Commerce and Policy program, but all prospective students are invited to attend.
At the intersection of global commerce and international security operates Strategic Trade, an emerging field of research. Strategic Trade involves compliance and licensing of “sensitive” goods via trade sanctions, trade controls, and foreign direct investment controls. The field focuses on supply chain security, proliferation networks, trade control systems, and compliance systems.
Join us as we learn about this exciting area of practice in a discussion with two special guests moderated by a faculty member from the Schar School’s Master’s in International Commerce and Policy program.

FEATURING: Andrea Viski, founder and director of the Strategic Trade Research Institute; Scott Jones, principal at TradeSecure, and nonresident fellow at the Stimson Center; and Ken Reinert, Schar School professor of public policy
