"On Day One": A U.S. Economic Contingency Plan for a Taiwan Crisis 

How should the U.S. respond economically on “day one” of a significant crisis in or around the Taiwan Strait?  How swiftly and dramatically would U.S. economic decisions ripple out globally? To answer these and related questions, the Freeman Chair is pleased to host a discussion with Eyck Freymann, a Hoover Fellow at Stanford University and non-resident research fellow at the China Maritime Studies Institute at the US Naval War College, and Hugo Bromley, Research Associate at the Centre for Geopolitics and an affiliated research associate at Robinson College, Cambridge. They are authors of the recent report On Day One: An Economic Contingency Plan for a Taiwan Crisis (Hoover Institution Press, July 2024), which lays out guiding recommendations for “avalanche decoupling” in the case of a Taiwan Strait crisis.  Jude Blanchette, Freeman Chair in China Studies, will moderate the discussion. 

This event is made possible through general support to CSIS.
