Trade

GEG fosters research on trade governance from the perspective of developing countries and the goal of sustainable development.

Our work on trade focuses on three issue areas:

  1. The governance of the World Trade Organisation
  2. The ability of small states to maneuver and influence international trade negotiations
  3. The implications of regional and bilateral trade agreements for the governance of global trade
