Overview

The Center for Commerce and Diplomacy (CCD) at UC San Diego’s School of Global Policy and Strategy advances global economic cooperation through rigorous academic research, harnessing our network and convening industry leaders, policymakers and scholars to discuss topics of ongoing concern. In our view, international trade and foreign investment are engines of economic prosperity and peace. Yet we also recognize the need to ensure fairness in the structure of global cooperation, sustainability and respect for security objectives. Diplomacy is the key to creating a shared language to accomplish these aims.
