Announcement
Postponed due to an unforeseeable change in the speaker’s schedule.
The past few years have seen a profound transformation in U.S. foreign economic policy: from economic engagement with China and the pursuit of comprehensive trade agreements; to a trade war with Beijing, the rejection of tariff liberalization, and the embrace of the notion that economic security is national security. Dr. Solís will discuss the drivers of change in U.S. economic statecraft, the unfolding technology competition with China, and challenges ahead for the United States to build economic security coalitions with like-minded partners.

Mireya Solís is the Director of the Center for East Asia Policy Studies, the Philip Knight Chair in Japan Studies, and a Senior Fellow in the Foreign Policy program at Brookings. Prior to joining Brookings, Solís held a tenured position as an associate professor at American University’s School of International Service.
Solís specializes in Japanese foreign economic policy, international trade policy, and U.S. economic statecraft in Asia. She is the author of 'Dilemmas of a Trading Nation: Japan and the United States in the Evolving Asia-Pacific Order' (Brookings Press, 2017) and was the recipient of the 2018 Masayoshi Ohira Memorial Award.
Her latest book, 'Japan’s Quiet Leadership: Reshaping the Indo-Pacific' (Brookings Press, September 2023), explores why and how Japan has emerged unscathed from the 'lost decades,' avoiding the populist wave and becoming a more consequential actor in the geopolitics of the Indo-Pacific. Solís earned a doctorate in government and a master’s in East Asian studies from Harvard University, and a bachelor’s in international relations from El Colegio de México.
