Vinod K. Aggarwal (born November 26, 1953) is an American professor and holds the Alann P. Bedford Endowed Chair of Asian Studies in the Travers Department of Political Science. He is an Affiliated Professor in the Haas School of Business, and directs the Berkeley APEC Study Center (BASC). He is a visiting professor at INSEAD's Asia campus, a blogger for the Harvard Business Review, and has contributed to the New York Times. He also serves as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Business and Politics. Aggarwal is a frequent commentator and author about issues related to international political economy. He has appeared on the Korean television show Great Minds in 2021 and in 2023–24. In addition, he appears regularly on American television.
In 2006, Aggarwal described Washington's selective trade policies as undermining the creation of an Asia-Pacific zone. He forecast that the mounting U.S. trade deficit with China would lead to failure in efforts to convert APEC into a Free Trade Area of the Pacific and said it would be "dead on arrival in Congress for the foreseeable future." Later, during the 2009 global recession of world markets, Aggarwal was a prominent critic of the Fortress Asia theory which speculated that East Asian countries such as China and Japan would align to become a protectionist trade bloc averse to Western imports. He has recently focused on technology conflict between the U.S. and China, arguing recently that President Biden's efforts pursue high technology industrial policy would face serious domestic political problems.
