Pandemic-Era Trade Policies in Food and Medical Products and International Cooperation
In March 2020, the EUI Global Governance Programme launched a joint project with the University of St. Gallen’s Global Trade Alert initiative and the World Bank to monitor trade policy measures used by governments around to expand domestic supplies of medical and food products. So far, 6 weekly reports have been posted [https://www.globaltradealert.org/reports/54]. These data reveal the active use of trade policy instruments by more than 80 countries.
