The Mosbacher Institute for Trade, Economics, and Public Policy was founded in October 2009 upon the request of President George H.W. Bush to honor Robert A. Mosbacher Sr., who served as secretary of commerce from 1989 to 1992. Our stakeholders are the Bush School, its faculty and students, Texas A&M University, the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library, and our donors, along with business leaders, visiting experts, and public policymakers. The Mosbacher Institute’s four core focus areas are designed to support the Institute’s research and educational objectives relating to trade, economics, and public policy. These four core focuses include: - Global Markets and Trade - Borders and Migration - Energy - Governance and Public Service
