OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

The US has adopted two major industrial policy programs, one subsidizing green industry, the other chip and other high-tech industries. In doing so, it seemingly paid little if any attention to WTO rules, and Europe rightly was more than a little concerned. There appears to be the threat either of a trade war, or of Europe matching the US subsidies, further eroding the international rules-based system and putting developing countries at a disadvantage. So, too, Europe is discussing whether to impose cross-border tariffs on countries where production is insufficiently “green.” This panel will explore whether we can find a way of saving the planet without a trade war. Is a new global trade framework required, and if so, what might it look like? Is it possible politically to get there? And if not, then what?
