In the wake of the global financial crisis, the commitment by developed nations to globalisation has waned. Protectionism has risen and the rise of populist and identity politics has led to concerns about the global trading system. Nowhere has this been starker than in the US, which has withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership and is seeking a renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Such actions undermine not just the flow of goods across borders but can also affect health outcomes by changing prescription drug prices and stall standard of living gains through restrictions on the Internet.
• What does a more protectionist trade environment look like, and what are the implications for society?
• What previous partnerships are still flourishing and what new partnerships have developed in response to the current environment?
• How do trade partnerships build more inclusive societies?
