"China gives Latin America attractive access to large markets," notes current @FletcherSchool professor @CarlosAlvQ, but he warns against continued over-dependence on export of raw materials and stresses the need for diversification #FPRG2023

@CarlosAlvQ, professor at the @FletcherSchool, acknowledges that "China gives Latin America attractive access to large markets," but he's also concerned about continued over-dependence on raw materials and stresses the need for diversification #FPRG2023

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

As the US undergoes a massive energy transition spurred by the Inflation Reduction Act, there are concerns that Latin America, a net exporter of fossil fuels, could be left behind. #LatinAm should focus on diversifying its regional economy, says @CarlosAlvQ #politicalrisk #FPRC

.@ga_thomps warns that shifts in the distribution of power are causing new geopolitical risks that need to be addressed. While #globalization won't end, it will be rewired as we move forward. #geopolitics #politicalrisk #FPRC2023

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

Is the Great Divergence at an end? @ga_thomps, senior analyst at @EurasiaGroup, sees the spectacular growth of China and India in recent decades as evidence of a "single, unified geopolitical space," which includes the world of technology

@FletcherSchool professor @CarlosAlvQ is closely watching how developments in U.S. policy in the chips and tech space under the #Biden administration will affect Latin America, specifically regarding demand for new jobs and growth in regional trade

@CarlosAlvQ, current professor at @FletcherSchool, is closely watching how developments in U.S. policy under the #Biden administration regarding chips and the tech #supplychain will affect Latin America, specifically regarding demand for jobs and growth of regional trade

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

Dr. @ClairePKaiser insists, "a key thing to watch for moving forward is this new alignment of powers." As global politics continue to evolve, understanding how power dynamics are shifting is essential for effective risk management. #globalization #power #politicalrisk #FPRG2023

As our next panel begins, we're re-evaluating the sources of power: Our moderator @dandrezner muses about the changing role of military power in modern international relations, citing the Russian military’s failures in Ukraine and the American withdrawal from Afghanistan

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

Our final panel of #FPRC2023 @FletcherSchool -- The Distribution of Powers in the World Today -- is underway! Thank you @CarlosAlvQ, @ga_thomps, @ClairePKaiser, and Jonathan Brookfield for joining us #globalization #power #politicalrisk

Chad Bown: Globalization only works with cross-border cooperation on industrial and technological policy. Increasing geopolitical tensions between the U.S. and China therefore threaten to slow global growth and we risk a return to localized centers of production #globalization

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

"Hopefully the Chips Act will lead to more resilience" - @ChadBown. As the US strives for greater #semiconductor independence, the #ChipsAct could be critical to securing #supplychains and protecting national security.
#politicalrisk #FPRG2023 @PIIE @TradeTalks

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

The CHIPS Act aims to diversify chip production out of Taiwan. @ChadBown explains why this move minimizes both climate shocks and political risk given the interdependence of countries in our globalized economy. #globalization #politicalrisk #FPRC2023

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

Chad Bown emphasizes the importance of diversifying centers of semiconductor production, citing the pandemic's effect on production in China and the February 2021 Texas winter storm #semiconductor #chips

@bilalabaloch of @enquire_ai notes how the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is a "fundamental signal of the health of the tech sector" and reminds us access to capital is a critical part of the tech supply chain #techsupplychain #SVB

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

Munish Walther-Puri talks about the visibility risk posed by the visibility cliff in #supplychains and the need for greater trust. #politicalrisk #technology #industrialpolicy #FPRG2023

[Fletcher Political Risk Group @FletcherPRG]

@bilalabaloch describes the failure of Silicon Valley Bank earlier this morning as a "fundamental signal of the health of the tech sector," noting how access to capital is a critical part of the tech supply chain, both domestically and globally #SVB #techsupplychain #fprg2023
