The CSIS Scholl Chair for International Business undertook to review and develop recommendations for how the executive branch could improve its processes for soliciting and responding to input from the public regarding trade policy and negotiations. Doing so would raise the quality of the resulting agreements and their contributions to economic growth, and likely increase public confidence in the outcome of negotiations.
Though I was not part of drafting the report, CSIS invited me to speak about my own experiences in the executive branch developing and negotiating trade agreements working with a variety of public stakeholders from non-profit organizations to the business and agricultural communities.
