Chatham House, St James’s Square, London<\/p>\n
In-person only event.<\/strong><\/p>\n We have seen significant economic and political shifts in recent years with the Covid-19 pandemic, the escalating climate crisis, the disruptions caused by Brexit in Europe as well as the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war continuing to change the global economic and political order. These shifts provide an impetus and opportunity to open new and old debates about the role of international trade. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to bring together economists, lawyers, political scientists, international relations scholars, and policy experts to consider some of the core emerging issues, as well as the latest evidence and thinking on the consequences for sustainable international trade, and trade policy.<\/p>\n PROGRAMME<\/strong><\/p>\n 10.00-11.00 – Session 1: Post-Brexit trade – Chair: Camilla Jensen (UK Trade Policy Observatory, University of Sussex and Roskilde University)<\/strong><\/p>\n 11.00 – 11.30 – Coffee Break<\/p>\n 11.30-12.30 – Session 2: Climate and Trade – Chair: Alasdair Smith (UK Trade Policy Observatory\/University of Sussex)<\/strong><\/p>\n 12.30 – 13.30 – Lunch<\/p>\n 13.30-15.00 – Session 3: Digital Trade – Chair: Ingo Borchert (UK Trade Policy Observatory\/University of Sussex)<\/strong><\/p>\n 15.00 – 15.30 – Coffee Break<\/p>\n 15.30-16.30 – Session 4: Sustainable Trade – Chair: Amrita Saha (Institute of Development Studies)<\/strong><\/p>\n 16.30-17.15 ROUNDTABLE: What role for FTAs in trade policy?<\/strong> – Chair: Michael Gasiorek (UK Trade Policy Observatory\/University of Sussex).

The COVID-19 pandemic and disruptions from Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine have raised concerns over the resilience of supply chains, whereas environmental problems highlight the need for sustainable supply chains.<\/p>\n Geopolitical shocks, the digitization of processes in supply chain management, and an increasing public concern about the distributional impact of trade and globalization add further complexity to the discussion of what supply chains could or should look like. Policymakers feel the need to design regulatory responses to these challenges, yet there is a danger that governments may take an inappropriate \u2018pick \u2018n\u2019 mix\u2019 approach to policies. In particular, the pretext of supply chain resilience could be used as a get-out clause for a wide range of industrial policy interventions.<\/p>\n This event draws on insights from a\u00a0Briefing Paper<\/a> and will discuss ways to achieve more international cooperation and coordination, so as to address supply chain vulnerabilities and avoid disguised protectionism.
