The William R. Rhodes Center for International Economics and Finance, based at Brown University's Watson School of International and Public Affairs, is dedicated to understanding how geopolitics, macroeconomics, and global finance intersect to shape an increasingly interconnected, interdependent, and uncertain world. The Center promotes rigorous, interdisciplinary scholarship on the cross-border movement of capital, goods, services, and people, and on the forces driving global differences in growth, development, and economic policy. Bringing together faculty and students from economics, political science, sociology, and beyond, the Rhodes Center supports research through fellowships, grants, and visiting scholar programs, while fostering dialogue between the academic and policy communities through conferences, lectures, and its podcast series. As global markets, technology, and geopolitics continue to reshape one another, the Center is committed to training the next generation of international economists and equipping students, scholars, and policymakers alike with the tools to navigate a rapidly evolving global economic landscape.
