ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY INITIATIVE

The Economic Diplomacy Initiative (EDI) at the Belfer Center in the Harvard Kennedy School conducted research on the effectiveness of sanctions in a world of digital currencies. How can the United States respond to threats from North Korea, for example, when a new payments infrastructure undermines our traditional means of economic diplomacy? Participants in this research included Larry Summers, Ash Carter, Richard Verma, Nicholas Burns, Gary Gensler, and Meghan O'Sullivan.
