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:
- The governance of the World Trade Organisation
- The ability of small states to maneuver and influence international trade negotiations
- The implications of regional and bilateral trade agreements for the governance of global trade
