Geoeconomics Center and Deputy Director of Studies

Sebastian Mallaby has joined the Council as Director of theMaurice R.
Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies (GEC), Deputy Director of
the Studies Program, and Paul A. Volcker Senior Fellow for
International Economics. Founded in 2000, the GEC works to promote a
better understanding among policymakers, academic specialists, and
the interested public of how economic and political forces interact
to influence world affairs. Mallaby has been appointed both head of
the GEC and deputy director of studies to better integrate the
economic and political output of the Council and to raise the
productivity and profile of the GEC.

An experienced journalist and acclaimed author, Mallaby comes to the
Council from the Washington Post, where he was a columnist and
editorial board member. From the Council’s Washington office, Mallaby
will focus on how economics and politics interact to shape
international relations. He will also write a book on hedge funds and
a biweekly column for the Washington Post.

In 2003, Mallaby took temporary leave from the Washington Post to
become a senior fellow at the Council, where he wrote a history of
the World Bank under James D. Wolfensohn. The book, The World’s
Banker (Penguin, 2004), was named an “Editor’s Choice” by the New
York Times and became a Washington Post bestseller. “Sebastian is a
first-rate political and economic analyst, a wonderful writer, and an
experienced observer of U.S. domestic and foreign policy. We are
thrilled to welcome him back to the Council in this capacity,” said
Council President Richard N. Haass.

Before joining the Post in 1999, Mallaby spent thirteen years with
the Economist. From 1997–99, Mallaby was the Economist’s Washington
bureau chief and wrote a weekly column on American politics and
foreign policy. Mallaby has also contributed to numerous other
publications and is the author of After Apartheid: The Future of
South Africa (Times, 1992), which was listed by the New York Times as
one of the notable books of 1992. Mallaby received a degree in modern
history from Oxford University.

One Response to “Mallaby to CFR”

    With regard to the CFR, they are very active in the global warming debate and this will give you an insight into what they represent in other foreign policy areas.

    Would you still be convinced that Al Gore is a pioneering friend of the environment if you found out that his film was manufactured and distributed by a corporate front, bankrolled by Anglo-Dutch oil BP-Shell and their European multinational confederates?
    How would you react if you found out that Co2 regulation was a means of enacting carbon trading, an already billion dollar plus market, spearheaded and promoted by the same companies?
