Call for papers: Journal of International Economic Law

Redakcja Journal of International Economic Law zaprasza do nadsyłania artykułów do swojego najnowszego numeru poświęconego wojnom handlowym. 

Proponowane tematy tekstów to:

• How does the current set of trade wars compare to similar periods in history, both in terms of the instruments used, and their likely economic and other effects?
• How has the political economy of protectionism been transformed by the transnationalisation of production and the multi-decade consolidation of global value chains? Can we still understand the politics of protectionism within the classical political economy story of trade? Or do we need to rethink the model by incorporating new variables, or by enriching it with insights from behavioral economics?
• If US-China trade frictions are at the heart of the present problems, the deeper issue may be the emergence of new market and quasi-market forms across the globe. How has the global economic order dealt with institutional diversity of this kind before? How can it, and how should it, do so now?
• What may be the larger systemic consequences of the emergence of China’s Belt and Road initiative, particularly in the context of the potential disintegration of the multilateral system? How are these two trends likely to play out, and what might be the structure of the new order which is emerging?
• For the first time, at least since WW2, trade wars are now bound up with larger geopolitical struggles involving both economic and national security dimensions. How has this changed the politics and dynamics of the current trade wars? What does the national security framing mean for the possibility of negotiated solutions?
• The United States is re-orienting its export control regime in order to deal with concerns over the transfer of technology to potentially hostile countries. Doing so unilaterally has raised questions of effectiveness and cost for American companies. How was the multilateral export control regime negotiated and managed during the cold war, and are there lessons for today? How might such export controls play out from a development perspective?
