Book Launch: Trade Links – New Rules for a New World

June 14 2022
Venue: ECIPE Office, Av des Arts 40, 6th floor, 1040 Brussels
Speakers: James Bacchus
Time: 15:00

How can the WTO be reformed to manage 21st-century and global challenges?

It is time to bring the world trading system into the 21st century, argues James Bacchus in his new book Trade Links – New Rules for a New World (Cambridge University Press). The economy has changed and new global issues – like climate change and pandemics – have taken a central stage in commercial policy in many parts of the world. The World Trade Organisation needs to be changed to accommodate both the structural economic shifts and societal challenges that link to global trade. How can it be done? Please join us for an in-person conversation with James Bacchus.
