3) The effects of the geo-economic turn on the WTO system are unlikely to make it more feasible to push for an agenda focused on "inclusiveness".

2) While past reform efforts focussed largely on effectiveness, concerns about defending the robustness of the Hashtag#WTO are increasing - also in light of budget freezes by the US for 2024 and 2025 and upcoming budget negotiation in July.

Key messages: 1) Prospects for reform remain low, as even in the pre-Trump 2.0 era, major actors (EU, US, China, India) disagreed strongly on how to make the organisation more effective.

My two cents on #Trump's #trade policy: --> Despite all the back and forth: Trump’s trade policy represents a fundamental challenge to the rules-based global trading system -->No serious effort to renegotiate global trade rules – attempt to unilaterally enforce US “vision” of global economic order

Just ashamed of European academic institutions reacting to the authoritarian clampdown against our US colleagues with "look, we have nice jobs here". Do you think this is the kind of solidarity needed from us? What are you actually doing to strengthen academic freedom and to help those affected?

Our findings show different—and uneven—ways in which the global governance of inequality is changing in the trade realm. - The WTO case shows that existing rules on developing countries remain stable. - In GSP, we find a seemingly arbitrary redrawing of the boundaries between developed/developing.

000

Clara Weinhardt @claraweinhardt.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

We show that: - Norm resilience prevails in the WTO and norm modification in the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) case; - In GSP, Global North ‘donors’ have tightened the bar for eligibility to the developing country group and added political criteria (such as good governance).

Clara Weinhardt @claraweinhardt.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

We look at changing norms on how to deal with inequality between countries in global trade governance. Are countries still divided into the binaries “developed” and “developing” to govern access to special flexibilities for those in a disadvantaged position in the global economy?
