4.) We expect an easing of protectionist pressures in the US as public opinion turns against protectionism, lobbying from import-competing companies declines, and pro-trade firms become more vocal.
5.) Consequently, we expect the international trading system to weather the current storm.

3.) Current US trade policy comes close to what we term an "isolationist" trade policy, marked by strong protectionist pressures and a highly salient trade-security linkage.
Here now a brief summary of the key ideas in our paper:
1.) US trade policy has historically been eclectic. At most times, it has combined liberal and protectionist elements.
2.) The international trade system has developed resilience to US departures from liberal commitments.
Very happy that my paper on the future of US trade policy, co-authored with Alessia Invernizzi, is part of this special issue
Our online special issue, The Future of Global Governance and World Order, is out!

It features 15 short essays plus the editors' introduction, all #OpenAccess.

The far-right FPÖ supposedly wants to restrict ENG in academic research & make GER the sole research language in AT. Nothing says commitment to excellence like isolating Austrian science from the global community. Tell me you don’t care about scientific progress w/o telling me… 🫣 #ScienceSkepticism

J.D. Vance is trying to force the U.K. to drop LGBTQ+ hate speech protections as part of a TRADE DEAL.

This isn’t about jobs or free speech. It’s about giving bigots more room to incite violence.
