Podcast 15 October 2025
Public attitudes to trade and trade policy
View postSummary CITP publication
Series 7, Episode 3 - What does the British public think about trade? In a democracy, what people think or feel about any area of policy really matters. Trade policy is an external wing of economic policy, and everyone cares about whether the government's actions are making them richer or poorer, but we also care about how trade is interlinked with climate change, the environment, food standards, or animal welfare. In this episode, our speakers provide insights and analysis on what the public thinks about trade, how we know what the public thinks and whether their views are listened to. With Alan Winters (CITP), George Holt (Trade Justice Movement), Liam Campling (Queen Mary University London) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

The Multilateral Trading System under threat: actions and reactions
View postSummary CITP publication
Series 7, Episode 2 - In this special extended episode, recorded in front of a live audience at the World Trade Organization Public Forum, we consider the present state of the multilateral trading system and the role of the WTO. The majority of international trade, around 72%, is being conducting on WTO terms. But pretty much every nation has had to face the consequences of a unilateral withdrawal from Most Favoured Nation principals by the world’s biggest economy: the US. This challenge from Washington is only the latest in a string of issues to confront the WTO, which has only ratified two multilateral agreements in 30 years, and hasn’t had a functioning Appellate Body to underpin the enforcement of multilateral trade rules for the last six years. How should WTO members respond? Should the rules be upheld, or do they need changing? To discuss these questions and those from our live audience are H.E Guilherme de Aguiar Patriota (WTO), Kelly Ann Shaw (AKIN), Mona Paulsen (London School of Economics) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

Podcast 17 September 2025
Making international trade work properly: conformity assessment
View postSummary CITP publication
Series 7, Episode 1 - This podcast discusses conformity assessment because it is important that manufacturers of industrial goods comply with international standards, and that compliance is verified. Even more important, mutual recognition of conformity assessment comes into play for exports and can facilitate trade and cut costs. The UK currently has mutual recognition agreements with a number of countries, but not with the UK's biggest export market - the EU - even though the UK was a full participant in the EU conformity Assessment Regime up until Brexit. What are the prospects for a UK-EU agreement on conformity assessment? What are the barriers to this and how much does this impact EU-UK trade? Sharing their perspectives are Richard Collin (UKAS), Peter Holmes (UKTPO, University of Sussex), Jacques Pelkmans (CEPS), Fergus McReynolds (Chartered Institute of Export & International Trade) and our host Chris Horseman (Borderlex).

Asia and “reciprocal tariffs”: Is regionalism the antidote? (Hinrich Foundation)
View postSummary CITP publication
Asian countries have many trade agreements, but these are not a unified system and most are shallow. Without expansion, they will not produce new trade flows to counter losses in US markets. A global response to Trump’s tariffs based on World Trade Organization rules is desirable says L. Alan Winters in this Hinrich Foundation blog.
