                                Anne Krueger: U.S. trade policies post-Trump





                                “The world had its highest rate of economic 
growth from the end of the Second World War until the middle of the last 
decade. Almost all economies shared in growth well above the historical 
average and the number of people in poverty fell drastically.”

                                Mikael Anzén: The WTO delivers a bountiful 
results - but what's next?






                                “Early in the Geneva morning of 17th June, 
the WTO’s twelfth Ministerial meeting – MC12 – came to a close. The agreed 
package, hammered out over four days and two nights of intense negotiations, 
actually concluded four and a half years of negotiations since the last 
ministerial gathering held in Buenos Aires in 2017.”

                                Anna Karhu: Fragile international relations, 
trade, and policy






                                “The past few years have witnessed that 
nothing is as permanent as change. It seems that our global economies have 
faced new crises increasingly frequently. Just as we have been able to take 
a breath and have gained a flicker of the new normal, yet another disruption 
shakes our renewed balance. The global financial crisis in 2008, followed by 
the US–China trade war, global Covid-19 pandemic and the Russia’s invasion 
to Ukraine, have all shaken the global structures that govern the 
increasingly interconnected trade. As the growth of global trade has brought 
us welfare and increased living standards, it has also brought us 
increasingly interconnected and diverse international relations.”

                                Maxim Medvedkov: Some new realities in 
international trade






                                “Trade and economic sanctions imposed on 
Russia are unprecedented not only in their scope, but also in their 
non-compliance with the basic rules of the WTO. These rules are based on the 
principle of non-discrimination, they also prohibit to introduce trade bans 
and other restrictions of trade. If the Russian government decides to 
challenge these sanctions in the WTO arbitration, Western trade lawyers will 
obviously have to work hard trying to justify these bans by the WTO security 
exceptions. These exceptions allow WTO members to violate basic rules in 
limited number of cases. It would be necessary for lawyers to demonstrate 
that all these bans and restrictions in trade with Russia were taken for the 
protection of’ “essential security interests” of the countries which 
introduced sanctions.”
