The Future of Trade: A Conversation with World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy

On October, Global Economy and Development at Brookings hosted the director-general of the World Trade Organization, Pascal Lamy, for a conversation about the future of international trade. As production and supply become ever more global, the paradigm for trade is shifting rapidly away from mercantilism to “made in the world.” The conversation focused on the evolving patterns and methods of trade, global value chains, the rise of non-tariff measures, and recent trends in regionalism in trade.
