Prof. GSTÖHL contributes an article on Trade Diplomacy to the Review of the Diplomatic Academy of Uruguay

Following the training seminar on EU-Uruguay relations that it delivered in July 2018 in Montevideo, the College of Europe was invited to write an article for the Review of the Diplomatic Academy of Uruguay – Instituto Artigas del Servicio Exterior.

Professor Sieglinde GSTÖHL, Director of the Department of EU International Relations and Diplomacy Studies of the College of Europe, wrote about 'Trade diplomacy in turbulent times'.

The article looks into the recent developments in trade relations between the big trade powers and the changing nature of (trade) diplomacy. It concludes that "in today’s turbulent times, diplomacy remains crucial to avoid a ‘weaponization’ of trade that would make trade a tool for political aggression rather than economic progress".
