NEXTGEN LONDON INVITES YOU TO
Weaponization of Trade: The Great Unbalancing of Politics and Economics
International trade is about more than economics, and not only for the US administration. Trade is about coercion and strategic influence. Weaponization of Trade: The Great Unbalancing of Politics and Economics looks at why politicians have resorted to economic nationalism, using the rhetoric of conflict to recapture the lost territory of global leadership and to win the hearts and minds of their ‘populist’ electorates. It also presents new data on unseen trade in arms and dual-use goods that are used to fight proxy wars, wreaking havoc with beneficial trade and increasing migration, which in turn further fuels the fear and the febrile atmosphere at home. The book offers policy recommendations for reversing these trends: increasing trade finance, promoting the benefits of globalisation and controlling the export of weapons.

Author Rebecca Harding will explore these ideas and responses to your questions on the future of globalisation.

This is a not-to-be-missed discussion of timely issues that affect every sector of the economy, beyond the investment community, so please register promptly.

She is frequently cited in the Broadsheet press, including the Financial Times, Times, Sunday Times, Economist and other trade publications on economic trends, fintech, trade, finance and growth. Rebecca’s latest book The Weaponisation of Trade – The great unbalancing of politics and economics looks at why politicians have resorted to economic nationalism, using the rhetoric of conflict to recapture the lost territory of global leadership and to win the hearts and minds of their ‘populist’ electorates. It also presents new data on unseen trade in arms and dual-use goods that are used to fight proxy wars, wreaking havoc with beneficial trade and increasing migration, which in turn further fuels the fear and the febrile atmosphere at home. The book offers policy recommendations for reversing these trends: increasing trade finance, promoting the benefits of globalisation and controlling the export of weapons. Rebecca explains that we are at an historical juncture as globalisation itself is called into question. The political, economic and technological progress of the last 30 years is under threat. Unless governments retreat from their current rhetoric, the scope for mistrust and retaliation will grow.
