After the trade War: Remaking rules from the ruins of the rules based system

By: Froman, Michael B. G.
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Foreign Affairs Description: 104(5), Sep-Oct, 2025: p. 60-98. In: Foreign AffairsSummary: The global trading system as we have known it is dead. The World Trade Organization has effectively ceased to function, as it fails to negotiate, monitor, or enforce member commitments. Fundamental principles such as “most favored nation” status, or MFN, which requires WTO members to treat one another equally except when they have negotiated free-trade agreements, are being jettisoned as Washington threatens or imposes tariffs ranging from ten to more than 50 percent on dozens of countries. Both the “America first” trade strategy and China’s analogous “dual circulation” and Made in China 2025 strategies reflect a flagrant disregard for any semblance of a rules-based system and a clear preference for a power-based system to take its place. Even if pieces of the old order manage to survive, the damage is done: there is no going back.- Reproduced https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/after-trade-war-michael-froman
