Briefing Paper 30 November 2022
First things first: start with a trade strategy
By Michael Gasiorek.
View postSummary CITP publication
This Briefing Paper sets out some key considerations in the making of a trade strategy and a framework for considering the elements of policy that contribute to achieving that strategy. Possibly the most important point to make here is that a trade strategy, and thus policy to achieve that strategy, does not exist independently of other policies. Trade policy is primarily about domestic outcomes and therefore, also domestic politics, and has to be thought of in the context of the government’s wider economic and social policy objectives. A government’s trade strategy then becomes about how to support those objectives through trade policy with other countries. This is why you need to ask why you want trade agreements in the first place.
