What’s behind tradewars?

1 minute Read

Trade wars, reshoring, and global supply chain disruptions dominate headlines, but what's really driving these massive economic shifts?

The TWIN SEEDS project has released two videos that go beyond the news cycle to explore the deeper economics behind current trade shifts, featuring insights from different work packages across the research initiative.

Presented by Louise Curran from TBS Education, the videos examine global value chains, reshoring trends, and trade wars with surprising revelations. Key insights include the EU's calculated "damage control" approach to trade retaliation and the counterintuitive reality that reshoring doesn't always create more jobs but may actually reduce carbon emissions in certain cases.

The two videos connect research from multiple TWIN SEEDS work packages to unpack trade and policy developments beyond typical news coverage, revealing the strategic chess game behind international economic policy.
