Education and career

[edit]

Newman was raised in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Stanford University with a BA in International Relations and an MA in International Political Economy in 1996. In 2005, he received his PhD in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.[5] He has spent many years in Germany and is fluent in German.[6] Within the field of international political economy, Newman’s research has included topics such as digital technology and data privacy as well as global finance. Most recently, Newman and Henry Farrell coined the term “weaponized interdependence” to describe the ways in which states are increasingly using economic networks as tools of coercion to achieve strategic goals.[7]
