EU Trade Policy and the Rise of Geopolitics
Trade is no longer just about tariffs and quotas; it's a primary arena for geopolitical strategy and power. EU Trade Policy and the Rise of Geopolitics delves into this complex intersection, where economic interests collide with security concerns and diplomatic maneuvering. Hosted by Professor Joachim Schild from the Jean Monnet Chair in EU Trade Policy, each episode features conversations with leading experts to unpack the forces reshaping Europe's commercial relationships. You'll hear detailed analysis on how the EU responds to intense global competition, navigates fraught dependencies, and crafts its role between major powers. Rather than abstract theory, this podcast focuses on the immediate issues-from sanctions and supply chain resilience to climate measures and digital governance-that define the bloc's position in a fragmented world. These discussions reveal the tough choices and strategic calculations behind the headlines, offering clarity on a subject critical to both Europe's future and the global order. Tune in for a nuanced exploration of how trade policy has become a central tool of statecraft in an age of uncertainty.
