The Shifting Landscape of Global Trade Governance cover

Takes stock of current challenges to the world trading system and develops scenarios for the future.

This book analyzes current challenges and opportunities for the global trading system. It maps scenarios for sustainable global economic governance in ways that could transform the system as we know it.Today's trade regime and its rules are under pressure. Increasing societal discontent with globalization and the rise of protectionist measures threaten the trade regime's legitimacy and effectiveness. The authors explore systemic challenges to the trade regime, inter alia, related to development, migration, inequality, the digital economy and climate change. The Shifting Landscape of Global Trade Governance allows the readers, in times of change, to put current developments into context and offers an understanding of the different dynamics defining today's regulation of the global economy. Chapters authored by leading researchers from different disciplines - law, political science and economics - address the challenges of the global economic system and share novel outlooks, both theory- and data-based, for the future.

'The WTO is not living its best moments, and what this book does better than any other volume is to highlight the reasons why this has been the case. By highlighting the concerns that have not been addressed, the voices that have not been heard, as well as the faux pas taken by those in charge, this volume offers an unparalleled collection of well-thought papers that should find their way to the desk of every policymaker steering the world trading system these days.'
