International Trade Negotiations: Navigating the New Trade Diplomacy

International trade negotiations are highly complicated processes, involving a large variety of actors (public and private), each representing their own interests. While traditionally trade agreements have dealt primarily with discussions over tariffs and quotas on imports, trade negotiations today encompass a much broader range of actions and government regulations, from the environment and climate, to the digital domain. Novel forms of international trade arrangements, different from traditional trade agreements, are also emerging creating new opportunities for international cooperation, but also increasing the fragmentation of the international economic system.
