Trade Links: New Rules for a New World

In this episode of the IDS Between the Lines podcast, IDS Fellow Amrita Saha interviews James Bacchus about his book: Trade Links: New Rules for a New World. James is a Distinguished University Professor of Global Affairs and Director of the Center for Global Economic and Environmental Opportunity at the University of Central Florida.
In the book and podcast, James argues that the World Trade Organisation (WTO) can survive and continue to succeed only if the trade links among WTO members are revitalised and reimagined. He explains how to bring the WTO into the twenty-first century, exploring the ways it can be utilised to combat future pandemics and climate change and advance sustainable development, all while continuing to foster free trade.
