Europe in Flux: Eddie Fishman on Chokepoints

Europe's new role in an uncertain world

October 16, 2025 07:30 AM - 08:15 AM ET

Join us for a special 45-minute Europe in Flux executive briefing, featuring Edward Fishman, New York Times bestselling author of Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare.

A former architect of U.S. sanctions policy and now a Senior Scholar at Columbia’s Center on Global Energy Policy, Fishman takes us inside the rise of economic warfare — from financial sanctions and export controls to the U.S. government’s ability to weaponize access to chips, capital, and trade routes.

In conversation with Maria Demertzis, ESF Center Leader Europe, this session will explore:

  • The new rules of global competition, and who sets them
  • Why chokepoints like finance and tech are becoming frontline weapons
  • What business leaders need to know as global economic fragmentation deepens
