Episode 7: Understanding the new Values-based Trade Policy
Peter and Pru were joined by special guest, Dr Naoise McDonaugh from Edith Cowan University, to discuss the evolution and impact of 'values-based' trade. The podcast looks into the changing values informing trade policy over the past 30 years and how geopolitical tensions are seeing the values underpinning trade policy expand well beyond traditional commercial and development focused values. Peter and Naoise discuss their research on the topic and the need for further research (and supporting funding) to help governments and business get a much better handle on the impact and design of values-based trade policy.
