The journal examines the relationship between economic policies and international trade, investigating how trade dynamics affect economic development, industrial policies, and market access for different countries. - Sustainable Development and Trade:
A significant emphasis is placed on the intersection of sustainability and trade, discussing how trade policies can align with environmental goals, labor rights, and social equity. - Global Governance and Trade Institutions:
The journal also contributes to the discourse on global governance structures, assessing the effectiveness of institutions like the WTO and regional trade agreements in regulating international trade. - Emerging Trade Issues:

Trending and Emerging
- Digital Trade and Technology Regulation:
The rise of digital trade and the regulatory challenges it brings have become a focal point, with increasing publications addressing issues such as data governance, e-commerce regulations, and the implications of technological advancements on trade. - Environmental Sustainability in Trade:
Research on the integration of environmental sustainability into trade policies is gaining traction, emphasizing how trade can contribute to climate goals and sustainable development. - Geopolitical Shifts and Trade Relations:
The impact of geopolitical tensions, particularly between major economies like the US and China, on trade relations is a growing theme, reflecting the complexities of modern trade diplomacy. - Labor Rights and Trade Agreements:
There is an increasing emphasis on labor rights within trade agreements, exploring how trade policies can enhance or undermine labor protections and social standards globally. - Trade and Public Health:
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of trade in public health, leading to more research on how trade agreements can facilitate access to essential goods and services, including pharmaceuticals and medical supplies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Trade Barriers:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing solely on traditional trade barriers such as tariffs and quotas, as the discourse has shifted towards more complex non-tariff measures and regulatory challenges. - Dispute Settlement Mechanisms:
Research specifically dedicated to WTO dispute settlement mechanisms has become less frequent, possibly due to the evolving nature of international trade conflicts and the emergence of alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. - Agricultural Trade Policies:
Studies centered on conventional agricultural trade policies, while still important, appear to be less prevalent, indicating a potential shift towards exploring broader agricultural value chains and sustainability-related issues. - Regional Trade Agreements:
There has been a decline in the frequency of papers analyzing traditional regional trade agreements, as newer frameworks and trade alliances gain attention in light of global economic changes. - Historical Perspectives on Trade Law:
The exploration of historical perspectives on trade law has diminished, with the journal increasingly focusing on current and future challenges rather than retrospective analyses.
