DC Roundtable on International Business and National Security
On September 27, 2024, Washington and Lee University School of Law’s Frances Lewis Law Center, Georgetown Law’s Center on National Security, and Steptoe LLP will co-host a roundtable at Steptoe’s Washington, DC office on National Security & International Business.
The roundtable is designed to foster dialogue among academics, legal practitioners, industry leaders, and policymakers on how national security concerns increasingly shape international commerce. The program will consist of four sessions, each featuring an academic presentation with commentary from experts in practice, industry, or government.
We invite contributions from scholars in law, management, economics, political science, national security, supply chain management, industrial organization, and related disciplines. Topics for discussion will include:
-
Supply chain regulation and compliance (including the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act)
-
Corporate governance and geopolitical risk
-
Cross-border mergers and acquisitions and national security review (including CFIUS)
-
Contingency planning and geopolitical risk
-
Logistics and geopolitical risk
-
Export controls
-
Supply chain resiliency
-
Economic sanctions
-
Climate change and supply chain management
By bringing together diverse perspectives, the DC Roundtable aims to illuminate how international business is being reshaped by security imperatives, regulatory pressures, and global geopolitical shifts.
