The UKTPO 6th Annual UKTPO Conference will provide an interdisciplinary platform where academics, policymakers and stakeholders are welcome.
This year’s theme is Whose Rules Rule: The future of trade cooperation. Countries’ choices about who they trade with, and how they trade, are dictated increasingly by concerns about national security, climate change and human rights. This leads to fragmentation of supply chains, which businesses must navigate. It also raises questions about the effectiveness and legitimacy of using trade policy to support, or even export, particular values and objectives. Meanwhile, digital technologies are revolutionising way we trade, creating critical challenges for international cooperation. In response to these trends, this year’s conference focuses on regulatory conflict and cooperation across borders. It highlights issues for supply chains, in FTAs, and through plurilateral and (dare we hope) multilateral cooperation.
We are delighted to have put together an exciting, interdisciplinary programme of papers which touch upon these issues in a variety of ways. We look forward to welcoming you for the conference and for some stimulating and spirited discussions.
