NEW PAPER
Trade and development in an age of crisis: Mind the fundamentals
Daniel Ikenson 15 February 2022
Does openness to trade and investment lead to more socio-economic progress? A new paper by Daniel Ikenson of ndp | analytics explains why trade openness is critical for sustained economic growth – and why, despite the challenges presented today, developing countries would gain from minding these fundamentals.
The US has unveiled its much-anticipated Indo-Pacific Strategy paper. A new article by Senior Research Fellow Stephen Olson asks: is the value proposition better than previous offers? Or is the US trying to build support for issues it considers important but engender indifference – if not outright opposition – in the region? Are there other options to counter China’s influence?
Power in a small package: Taiwan and the global semiconductor supply chain
China's reliance on Taiwan’s semiconductor industry offers the island a buffer against Beijing's ambitions, but pressure is mounting. Our latest discussion guide, created to help educators teaching the dynamics driving global trade, focuses on Taiwan – producer of the world’s most advanced microchips – and the US-China competition disrupting supply chains. Check out the guide, based on a paper by Jeremy Mark, Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Council's GeoEconomics Center.
Congestion in US ports is causing severe supply chain disruptions across different sectors. What is driving these latest snafus and what are the trends we should look out for? Watch a recap of this National Press Foundation briefing, sponsored by the Hinrich Foundation, to gain a deeper understanding of this sprawling global story.
