Peter Chase, German Marshall Fund of the United States, Brussels. Peter Chase joined GMF’s Brussels office in September 2010 as a non-resident fellow and became a resident senior fellow in May 2016. Chase served as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce vice president for Europe from 2010-16; prior to this he was a U.S. diplomat with postings as minister-counselor for economic affairs in the U.S. Mission to the European Union, director of the State Department's office of EU affairs, chief of staff to the under secretary of economic affairs, and counselor and minister-counselor for economic affairs in the U.S. Embassy in London.

This week starts the lecture in summer semester 2018:

Ob TTIP, CETA oder die protektionistischen Ambitionen von Donald Trump: Der Streit über die Ordnung des globalen Handels ist in vollem Gange - nicht nur unter Ökonominnen und Ökonomen. Das ist gut so, denn für uns ist klar: Bei internationalem Handel geht es nicht nur um Effizienz und Verteilungsfragen. Er hat soziale Auswirkungen, ökologische und kulturelle.
