Global value chains restructuring challenges: towards a new normal trade policy

0

TWIN SEEDS International Policy Conference

The challenges facing Europe – from the pandemic to geopolitical conflicts – demand a reorganisation of global value chains (GVC). What effect these restructuring processes will have on employment opportunities, the environment and European competitiveness remain unclear.

This conference will explore the critical drivers for a more secure and resilient Europe. Drawing on findings from the TWIN SEEDS project, the event aims to identify effective means to ensure that the EU reaps the benefits of GVC restructuring – without leaving anyone behind.

A diverse panel of policymakers, academics and social partner representatives will address key questions such as:

  • What are the effects of GVC restructuring on employment dynamics?
  • Can Europe really achieve competitiveness through reshoring/restructuring?
  • What would the impact of relaunching EU productive activities be on the environment?
  • What are the future scenarios of a new normal trade policy?
  • What are the income distributive effects of a new normal trade policy?

In collaboration with TWIN SEEDS
