Political Economy of Trade Policy

The goal of this one-day workshop is to bring the scientific community on trade and political economy together with policy-makers on current trade negotiations, especially TTIP. The first part, the scientific workshop with a keynote lecture by Professor L. Alan Winters, will consist of research presentations in a seminar format on the political economy of trade deals. The second part, opening the audience to the wider public, will contain a speech by Lord Maude, UK Minister for Trade and Investment, followed by a panel discussion on the politics and strategic implications of the current trade negotiations.
