Eddie Fishman Biography

Eddie Fishman is a foreign policy expert, author, and scholar specializing in the intersection of business, economics, and national security. As a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Center on Global Energy Policy and an adjunct professor of international and public affairs, Fishman is known for his analysis of economic statecraft and strategy. His book, "Chokepoints: American Power in the Age of Economic Warfare," examines how the United States has leveraged control over critical economic chokepoints—such as the U.S. dollar, advanced technology, and energy supply chains—to influence global power dynamics.

Fishman’s career includes roles in government, academia, and the private sector. He served on the U.S. Secretary of State’s Policy Planning Staff, advising on Europe and Eurasia and leading work on economic sanctions and strategic planning. He contributed to the design of international sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine and played a role in U.S. policy on Iran, Belarus, and other regions. Fishman’s expertise is sought by think tanks including the Center for a New American Security and Atlantic Council, and he has contributed to major publications such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Atlantic.

Fishman has appeared at events such as the Milken Institute Global Conference and has received multiple U.S. State Department Superior and Meritorious Honor Awards for his policy work. He is recognized for translating complex geopolitical and economic issues into actionable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and academic audiences, with a focus on economic warfare and international strategy.
