Uri Dadush is senior associate and director in Carnegie’s International Economics Program. His work particularly focuses on trends in the global economy, and he is interested in the implications of the increased weight of developing countries for the pattern of financial flows, trade and migration, and the associated economic policy and governance questions. He is the editor of the Carnegie International Economic Bulletin, and the co-author of Paradigm Lost: The Euro in Crisis (Carnegie report, June 2010) and of Juggernaut: How Emerging Markets Are Reshaping Globalization (Carnegie book, 2011).
A French citizen, Dadush previously served as the World Bank’s director of international trade and before that as director of economic policy. He has also served concurrently as the director of the Bank’s world economy group, leading the preparation of the Bank’s flagship reports on the international economy over eleven years.
Prior to joining the World Bank, he was president and CEO of the Economist Intelligence Unit and Business International, part of the Economist Group (1986–1992); group vice president, international, for Data Resources, Inc. (1982–1986), now Global Insight; and a consultant with McKinsey and Co. in Europe.

Before Michael McFaul was appointed in 2009 as senior director at the National Security Council responsible for Russia, his entire career was in academia and think tanks.
