What is happening to the rules-based global order? Who are the emerging players in a less predictable marketplace? How should businesses navigate a world no longer bound by the certainties of the post-Cold War era?

These are the questions of our time. As a shifting global playing field creates new risks—and new opportunities—the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched the Global Intelligence Desk to provide timely and incisive analysis, delivered through calls, briefs, and in-person gatherings.  

The Desk’s anchor offering is “The Call,” a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider viewing thereafter. Information on membership is available here.

We will be launching other products, creating new materials, and adding to our overall offering in the near future, so please check back for updates on the Global Intelligence Desk’s expansion.
