Rethink the Deal: EXPRESS2 Podcast
EP03 - Trade Wars: The Weaponisation of Global Commerce
EP03 - Trade Wars: The Weaponisation of Global Commerce
In this episode, we examine how international trade has moved to the forefront of populism studies. Host Rachele Marconi, from Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies in Pisa, welcomes Dr. Carlo Maria Cantore (former legal officer at the WTO Secretariat) to discuss the "weaponization" of trade policy and the surge of protectionist pride. Discover how populist movements challenge decades of neoliberal consensus, the legal "bill" facing US trade measures, and the future of large-scale multilateral deals like EU–Mercosur. How can the European Social Contract remain resilient in an era of geoeconomic disruption?.Rethink the Deal is part of the EXPRESS2 project, fostering a transformation from tacit to express approval of the EU Social Contract.

Podcast · EXPRESS2EU - Horizon Europe Project · Welcome to the official podcast of the EU research project EXPRESS2 (GA No 101132426). This series offers evidence-based insights into building a more inclusive, democratic, and sustainable new social contract (SC) in Europe. We analyse how socioeconomic challenges impact EU cohesion.
