Mike Pyle ’00, the former deputy national security advisor for international economics in the Biden administration, will speak on the rise of international economic diplomacy at Dartmouth on Tuesday.
The public event, sponsored by the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, will be moderated by Nina Pavcnik, Niehaus Family Professor in International Studies and professor of economics.
The conversation with Pyle and Pavcnik, titled “The Rise of Economic Statecraft: Economic Policy and National Security in an Era of Great Power Competition,” will be held at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, July 23, in Haldeman Hall 41. Registration is requested.
Pyle, who previously was chief economic adviser to Vice President Kamala Harris, served from 2009 to 2013 across a range of international and domestic economic policy roles in the Obama White House and Treasury Department. The Dartmouth economics major and Yale Law School graduate clerked for then-Judge Merrick Garland on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit and spent seven years at BlackRock.
“Mike is a consummate public servant, with an incredible track record of high-level positions and accomplishments,” says Herschel Nachlis, associate director and senior policy fellow at the Rockefeller Center. “Throughout his career he’s also taken the time to give back to Dartmouth, including by meeting regularly with our public policy, government, and economics students in D.C. and Hanover, and serving on the Rockefeller Center’s Board of Visitors.”
This public event is part of a six-week residency during which Pyle is also meeting with faculty and student groups and holding a series of lunch discussions. Each week the group discusses a central policy issue, including frameworks for U.S.-China competition, advanced technology and the energy transition, and trade and investment.
“I’ve seen Mike engage with the Dartmouth community on numerous occasions,” says Nachlis. “In one case, right after finishing an economic briefing with Vice President Harris, Mike came straight from that briefing to a dinner meeting with my students in Washington. We’re exceedingly fortunate to have him share his expertise and experience with the community this summer.”
The public event and residency at Dartmouth are supported by the Rockefeller Center’s Stephen R. Volk ’57 Lectures, the Dartmouth Lawyers Association Law Day Lecture, and the Dickey Center Initiative for Global Security’s International Security and Economics pilot.
