About the International Economics Programme

The International Economics research area is devoted to the study of international economic issues and policies. Its goal is to anticipate emerging themes, provide accurate and policy-oriented research, and actively contribute to public debate. The strength of work on international economics lies in the scope of its coverage, its ability to analyse economic issues within a broad geopolitical context, and the large pool of Chatham House and external experts on which it can draw.

Research on international economics at Chatham House has grown considerably since it was established in 1986 under the direction of Dr DeAnne Julius to reflect the growing importance of economic factors in international relations. Since then it has produced original policy-oriented research and has helped to inform and shape public debate on key international economic issues. Workshops, seminars and discussion groups regularly provide a forum for a wide audience of government officials, politicians, business leaders, academics, scholars, representatives from non-governmental institutions and the media.

Core research activity concentrates on the Changing Dynamics of the Global Economic Order and International Trade and Investment. Findings and conclusions of meetings on international economic issues are often summarised in publications, which are available on our papers page. Researchers frequently give interviews to print and broadcast media.

Research on international economics is financially self-funding, deriving a portion of its income from its research events and activities. Chatham House acknowledges the generous support of the Tokyo Club Foundation for Global Studies, Japan Economic Foundation, JETRO and others.
