Agathe Demarais is the global forecasting director of the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and the author of Backfire, a book on the global ripple effects of U.S. sanctions.
The fight against climate change will fuel the emergence of new types of sanctions, tariffs, and export controls. In retaliation against these measures, China and Russia could weaponize access to critical minerals, posing a threat to U.S. national security.
Join us as Carnegie’s Matt Duss welcomes Agathe Demarais to talk about this important new book, the strategies states and firms use to evade sanctions, and how sanctions can even push states at odds with the United States closer together—or, increasingly, to Russia and China.
