Na een stortvloed aan politieke besluiten en opzienbarende ontslagen door de regering-Trump, komt het Amerikaanse ambtenarenapparaat steeds verder onder druk te staan. Ondanks de overmacht zijn er ook bestuurders die weigeren mee te werken aan beleid dat in hun ogen onwettig is. Hoe proberen zij naar eer en geweten te handelen, en hoeveel kans van slagen heeft dat? Daarover correspondent Karlijn van Houwelingen. (11:19) Brussel zet zich schrap voor mogelijke handelsoorlog Na de dreigementen richting Mexico, Canada en China heeft president Trump aangekondigd dat er ook zeker importtarieven voor Europese goederen verhoogd zullen worden. EU-leiders reageren en proberen de eenheid te bewaren. Maar is Europa voldoende voorbereid? En is er nog een manier om een handelsoorlog te voorkomen? Daarover spreekt Europa-expert Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?'Both the digital transition and decarbonisation ambitions have heightened demand for specialty metals, including nickel and lithium for electric vehicles and rare earths for advanced microelectronics. But as advanced economies' access to these metals is becoming increasing critical, supply security concerns are increasing: production of critical metals is concentrated in a small number of locations, while geopolitical tensions are rising.  The race to produce and acquire these minerals is boosting investment in Asia-Pacific, changing the relationship between the region and the global economy. Focusing on Indonesia and Australia, what role do producer countries play in the global supply chain for critical metals? How are these countries responding to economic and geopolitical and sustainability pressures? And how are countries in the region handling growing pressures towards fragmentation seen elsewhere in the advanced technologies global supply chain?Panellists:        Professor Ian Satchwell, Adjunct Professor, Sustainable Minerals Institute, The University of QueenslandDr Alloysius Joko Purwanto, Energy Economist, ERIAModerator:      Dr Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael InstituteThis podcast episode was recorded on 2 October 2024. Related content from GTS Contributors:Report | Reclaiming Leadership: Australia and the global critical minerals raceReport | Policies and Infrastructure Development for the Wider Penetration of xEVs in ASEAN Countries – Phase II ___ The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; Chatham House (UK); CITD - the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Elcano Royal Institute (Spain); ERIA – the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Indonesia); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan); and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not reflect the views, policy or position of American International Group Inc, or its subsidiaries or affiliates (AIG).

Met de Amerikaanse verkiezingen staat er ook voor Europa veel op het spel. Robbert Ophorst en Martin Visser bespreken in Kwestie van Centen wat de keus voor Trump of Harris betekent voor ons. „Als het Harris wordt, zal er een zucht van opluchting door Europa gaan”, zegt Clingendael-expert Rem Korteweg. Maar ook zij zal het belang van Amerika voorop stellen, politiek en economisch. „Het grootste risico is dat Europa zich door Harris in slaap laat sussen.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?' Four years on from Britain's departure from the EU, politicians on both sides of the Channel continue to grapple with its consequences. In recent months, the election of the Labour government in the UK and the reelection of Ursula Von der Leyen as President of the European Commission have opened a new more constructive chapter in the complex process of negotiation over the UK's relationship with its neighbours.  For the UK, mitigating Brexit's negative effects on trade and business remains a central goal in the reset of relations. For the Commission, trade issues are increasingly wrapped up in a broad concern, vividly captured in the recent Draghi report, about the EU's competitiveness and its long-term economic growth.  What are the political and economic parameters within which the UK and EU are working on a reset?  Where are the red lines and where the areas of Win-Win? And can a new deal help address the growth challenge on both sides of the Channel?  Panellists:        Georgina Wright, Senior Fellow and Deputy Director for International Studies, Institut Montaigne  Dr Nicolai von Ondarza, Head of Research Division, EU/Europe, German Institute for International and Security Affairs (Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik, SWP)  David Henig, Director, UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute  This podcast episode was recorded on 26 September 2024.  Related content from GTS Contributors:  Paper | Extraterritoriality: a Blind Spot in the EU's Economic Security Strategy | Institut Montaigne  Paper |The UK and the EU: New Opportunities, Old Obstacles | SWP  Report | Negotiating Uncertainty in UK-EU Relations: Past, Present, and Future | ECIPE ___  The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; Chatham House (UK); CITD - the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Elcano Royal Institute (Spain); ERIA – the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Indonesia); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan); and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not reflect the views, policy or position of American International Group Inc, or its subsidiaries or affiliates (AIG).

As the competition between the US and China over electric vehicles ramps up, the pressure has mounted on the EU to agree its own approach to the issue of Chinese EVs. While there are widespread concerns about the impact of Chinese EV imports and calls for the EU to protect its auto industry, others argue that the availability of affordable Chinese EVs and “green tech” more generally can help accelerate Europe's own transition. This critical policy debate is taking place against a backdrop of concern about the global impact of Chinese industrial over-capacity. Why is the EU concerned and is it right to be? How might the EV issue affect broader EU-China trade relations and what are its implications for EU-US trade relations? Lastly, what does the EV case teach us about how the EU should balance decarbonisation and industrial policy? For a discussion of the US-China EV rivalry, listen to the previous episode of the AIG Global Trade Series 2024: “Car Wars (Part 1)” features Rem Korteweg in conversation with Scott Kennedy and Wendy Cutler.The 2024 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the theme of ‘Back to the Future: A New Era of Managed Trade?'   Panellists:        Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institute  Miguel Otero Iglesias, Senior Analyst, Elcano Royal Institute  Moderator:      Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute  This podcast episode was recorded on 17 June 2024.   Related content from GTS Contributors:  Policy Paper | Shields Up: How China, Europe, Japan, and the United States shape the world through economic security  Article | The economics and geopolitics of electric cars: a European Perspective ___  The Global Trade Series is a collaboration between AIG and the following international organisations with leading expertise on global trade: the Aspen Institute Germany; CEBRI - the Brazilian Center for International Relations; Chatham House (UK); CITD - the Center on Inclusive Trade and Development at Georgetown University Law Center (US); the Clingendael Institute (The Netherlands); Elcano Royal Institute (Spain); ERIA – the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (Indonesia); ISPI - the Italian Institute for International Political Studies; the Jacques Delors Institute (France); RIETI - the Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (Japan); and the St. Gallen Endowment for Prosperity through Trade (Switzerland).  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not reflect the views, policy or position of American International Group Inc, or its subsidiaries or affiliates (AIG).

Aan tafel zitten Sjirk Kuijper, Sakina Elkayouhi en Rem Korteweg. Het mediamoment van Elkayouhi gaat over de Britse actrice Kate Winslet, die viral gaat met een filmpje waarin ze een jonge Duitse reporter geruststelt tijdens een interview. De moraal van het fragment is volgens Elkayouhi dat je als journalist zijnde ook af en toe wat van jezelf laat zien, je kwetsbaarheid. Doet dat de kwaliteit van een verhaal goed? En is het in elke situatie wenselijk om je kwetsbare kant te laten zien?  Kuijper zijn mediamoment begint met een fragment uit het programma De Slimste Mens van afgelopen dinsdag. Hier wisten de kandidaten het antwoord op een geschiedenis vraagstuk niet. ‘Hoe staat het met het geschiedenisonderwijs in ons land', was wat Kuijper zich afvroeg. En hoe erg is het dat de jongere generatie dit niet meer weet?  Voormalig minister van Justitie en Veiligheid Ferd Grapperhaus wordt zwaar beveiligd vanwege een "ernstige dreiging" vanuit de zware georganiseerde criminaliteit. Dat bevestigt het Openbaar Ministerie gisteren na een bericht van Het Parool. De krant meldt dat de dreiging uit de hoek komt van Jos Leijdekkers. In de talkshow Jinek vroeg politiek verslaggever Wouter de Winther zich gisteren hardop af of journalisten er goed aan doen om over dit soort bedreigingen te schrijven. Paul Vugts geeft hierop reactie.  Drie op de vijf tieners zijn de afgelopen twee jaar betrokken geraakt bij een gevaarlijke verkeerssituatie of een verkeersongeval terwijl ze op hun telefoon zaten. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van Interpolis en dus lanceert de verzekeraar vandaag een campagne om jongeren te bereiken. Heeft zo'n heftige campagne ook het gewenste effect?

De Britse premier Johnson heeft vandaag zijn aftreden aangekondigd. De afgelopen dagen nam de druk op Johnson toe, nadat minister na minister zijn of haar ontslag indiende. Wie durft in de voetsporen te treden van Johnson?

We bespreken het met Rem Korteweg, Brexit-kenner voor Clingendael.

Komende maandag 10 januari staan Mark Rutte, Sigrid Kaag en Wopke Hoekstra op het bordes. Maar welke rol gaan zij spelen op het Europese toneel? In ons digitale rondetafelgesprek bespreken we deze week de Europese koers van Rutte IV. We brengen dossiers als migratie, klimaat en begrotingsregels naar voren, met de vraag of het nieuwe kabinet mikt op meer Europese integratie, óf dat er ook nog een zekere terughoudendheid in die koers zit. En we willen weten of Nederland vanaf nu definitief afscheid neemt van het zogenaamde lidmaatschap van de Vrekkige Vier-club. Ook aandacht voor het leiderschap van Rutte in Europa en voor de aanwezigheid van de traditionele trans-Atlantische voorliefde van het Nederlandse kabinet. We nemen de internationaal georiënteerde opstelling én de mogelijke tactiek van Rutte IV door met: Femke van Esch, hoogleraar European Governance and Leadership of the European Union aan de Universiteit Utrecht.

Are regional agreements the future for global trade networks? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Martin Sandbu, European Economics Commentator, Financial Times James Crabtree, Executive Director, International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Asia Wendy Cutler, Vice President, Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI) This podcast episode was recorded on October 12, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. Regional and plurilateral trade agreements are on the rise and changing in nature. Post pandemic, the search for supply chain resilience could accelerate the trend towards regionalism, and away from globalization. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Martin Sandbu, European Economics Commentator, Financial Times; James Crabtree, Executive Director, International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), Asia; and Wendy Cutler, Vice President, Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI). Listen as they discuss whether regionalism is the future for global trade networks or a harbinger for deglobalization, fragmentation and fracturing of the global trade system. Do regional agreements complement or undermine the multilateral trading system underpinned by the World Trade Organization? Will trade, geopolitics and national security issues become ever more entangled through regional and bilateral agreements? And can greater regional integration be a positive force in creating a fairer, greener, and more sustainable global trading system?

Is the trade war doomed to continue? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Alicia García Herrero, Senior Fellow, Bruegel Stephanie Segal, Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic & International Studies This podcast episode was recorded on September 21, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. The world's most important trading relationship, that between the United States and China, has entered a new phase. As the geopolitical and economic rivalry between the US and China has intensified, mutual frustration and distrust has grown between the two superpowers. This mistrust has played out clearly in the trade arena through tariffs, bids for self-sufficiency, and the reshoring of global supply chains. Although the mistrust predated COVID19, the pandemic has undoubtedly accelerated an attempt by the two major trading nations to decouple. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Alicia García Herrero, Senior Fellow, Bruegel, and Stephanie Segal, Senior Fellow, Center for Strategic & International Studies. Listen as they discuss the future of US-China trade relations. Is the US-China trade war doomed to continue? Can policymakers in Washington D.C. successfully make a pro-trade argument to a domestic audience? What is the role of the European Union as it watches the two largest trading nations attempt to decouple, and by extension deglobalize?

What are Latin America's aspirations for reform of the global trade system, and what role can it play? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Shannon K. O'Neil, Vice President, Deputy Director of Studies, and Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations Alvaro Santos, Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas, Georgetown Law Steve Liston, Senior Director, Council of the Americas This podcast episode was recorded on September 10, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. What is the role of Latin America in the global trade system? Regional and plurilateral trade agreements are transforming trade across the Americas – from CPTPP to USMCA. In tandem, post-covid supply chain ‘nearshoring' opportunities, and US concerns about national security, could make Latin America a far more attractive investment opportunity for international business. However, LATAM countries increasingly find themselves caught in the midst of a US-China tussle for influence. What will this mean for regional trade and investment? In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Shannon K. O'Neil, Vice President, Deputy Director of Studies, and Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations; Alvaro Santos, Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Center for the Advancement of the Rule of Law in the Americas, Georgetown Law; and Steve Liston, Senior Director, Council of the Americas. Listen as they discuss the trade challenges and opportunities for the Americas in the short, medium, and long term. Will environmental concerns bring down the EU-Mercosur Trade Agreement? What will a changing US industrial policy mean for Latin America? And how can LATAM leaders seek to capitalize on advantages that may come from intensifying competition between China and the US?

Digital services boomed during the pandemic, bringing to the fore questions of global standards, governance, and taxation Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Chris Southworth, Secretary General, International Chamber of Commerce, UK Kelly Ann Shaw, Partner, Hogan Lovells Erik van der Marel, Senior Economist, European Centre for International Political Economy This podcast episode was recorded on July 20, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. Digital trade and services have created new trade opportunities and markets. But how do we regulate, tax and set standards for the digital economy? In an environment of increasing geopolitical friction, and under the auspices of national security, is the digital trade arena becoming yet another stage for tensions to play out? In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Chris Southworth, Secretary General, International Chamber of Commerce, UK; Kelly Ann Shaw, Partner, Hogan Lovells; and Erik van der Marel, Senior Economist, European Centre for International Political Economy. Listen as they discuss how digital standards and norms are developing across the US, EU and China – three power brokers with differing trade philosophies, values and political systems. What will these competing models mean in practice? There are clear commercial reasons for businesses to seek harmonization. However, the brewing wars in digital censorship and privacy highlight the friction and rift even between likeminded allied blocs. How can digital trade rules be made fit for purpose? And whose rules should apply?

What would an increase in carbon pricing mean for global emissions and macroeconomics? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Christian Bluth, Senior Expert, Bertelsmann Stiftung Emily Lydgate, Senior Lecturer in Environmental Law, University of Sussex This podcast episode was recorded on July 6, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. In the year of COP26, the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, ambitious climate policies are needed to address the climate crisis. But what does this mean for trade, when frequently globalization and global trade measures are accused of imperiling the climate agenda. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Christian Bluth, Senior Expert, Bertelsmann Stiftung, and Emily Lydgate, Senior Lecturer in Law, University of Sussex. Listen as they discuss the value of the European Union's proposed carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), and the role of carbon clubs in combatting the climate crisis. Is a CBAM the correct tool to deal with the climate challenge? Can a CBAM work for both developed and developing countries; or is there a trade-off between being ambitious and inclusive? How can China, the world's largest climate emitter, be brought into a carbon club? And what role will the World Trade Organization play in allowing carbon clubs to emerge?

How can new trade barriers in the post-COVID-19 world be avoided? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Speakers: Mary E. Lovely, Senior Fellow, The Peterson Institute John W.H. Denton AO, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce This podcast episode was recorded on June 14. The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. During the pandemic, trade nationalism emerged as countries pursued self-interested policies to shield themselves from the impact of the virus – from vaccine rollouts to supply chain reshoring and restricting access to critical medical supplies. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Mary E. Lovely, Senior Fellow, The Peterson Institute, and John W.H. Denton AO, Secretary General of the International Chamber of Commerce. Listen as they discuss how best to ensure a global post-COVID-19 economic recovery which avoids a return to protectionism and is open, fair, and equitable. How can new trade barriers in the post-COVID-19 world be avoided and can trade even be part of the answer to future pandemic preparedness?

Will the future of globalization be decided by events in the Indo-Pacific? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Speakers: Vasuki Shastry, Associate Fellow, Asia Pacific Programme, Chatham House Deborah Elms, Founder and Executive Director of the Asian Trade Centre Tetsuya Watanabe, Vice President, Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry,RIETI This podcast episode was recorded on May 20, 2021 The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. RCEP and CPTPP will redefine trade integration across Asia. Although the pandemic has exposed the strength of protectionist reflexes around the globe, these two major multilateral free trade agreements act as a powerful counterargument to suggestions of a deglobalized ‘new normal'. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Deborah Elms, Founder and Executive Director of the Asian Trade Centre; Vasuki Shastry, Associate Fellow, Asia Pacific Programme, Chatham House; and Tetsuya Watanabe, Vice President, Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI). Listen as they discuss whether RCEP and CPTPP compete, complement or overlap. In addition to RCEP and CPTPP, China's Belt & Road Initiative is transforming trade flows in the region and beyond. With India opting out of RCEP, what does that mean in the regional power struggle between India and China? And as the US figures out how to deal with a rising China in the coming decade, will pulling out of TPP prove to be both a missed economic as well as geostrategic opportunity?

What are the prospects for reform of the WTO; and how best to ensure that reform is supported by all? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Speakers: Ignacio Garcia Bercero, Director, Directorate General for Trade of the European Commission Jennifer Hillman, Professor from Practice, Georgetown Law, Institute of International Economic Law; Former Member, WTO Appellate Body Tetsuya Watanabe, Vice President, Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) This podcast episode was recorded on 13th April 2021. The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. All eyes are on the WTO's new leadership to jump-start trade multilateralism. But can global trade rules be updated? And if so, which rules should be fixed first? In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Ignacio Garcia Bercero, Director, Directorate General for Trade of the European Commission; Jennifer Hillman, Professor from Practice, Georgetown Law, Institute of International Economic Law; Former Member, WTO Appellate Body; and Tetsuya Watanabe, Vice President, Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI). Listen as they discuss the prospects for reform at the WTO, which is now a top global political priority. The pandemic has unlevelled the global playing field due to widespread use of subsidies and state intervention. Can the WTO play a role to address these imbalances, and make rules fit for purpose to respond to modern challenges? How should the WTO ensure that a reform package will be supported by all members to prevent a collapse of the rules-based trading system?

The AIG Global Trade Series 2021 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. The theme of the EU's new trade policy is ‘open strategic autonomy'. What does this mean in reality? The policy aims to reinforce the EU's position as a global champion of open, rules-based trade that is fair and sustainable, while simultaneously developing new tools to defend its own interests. But how coherent is this approach and how viable? In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Trade Policy and Brexit, Jacques Delors Institute; and Marianne Schneider Petsinger, Senior Research Fellow, US and the Americas Programme, Chatham House. Listen as they discuss the EU's evolving trade policy. Can the new approach satisfy domestic concerns about globalization without jeopardising the EU's trade partnerships? How will ‘open strategic autonomy' reshape the EU's trade relations with the US, China and others?

Navigating the deglobalized “new normal” post COVID-19. Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: James Crabtree, Associate Fellow, Asia-Pacific Programme, Chatham House; Associate Professor in Practice, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore Alicia García-Herrero, Senior Fellow, Bruegel This podcast episode was recorded on 13 October 2020 The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. Since the financial crisis of 2008 there have been many confident predictions that we are seeing the “End of Globalization”. A process of growing economic interconnectedness which had raised millions from poverty worldwide seemed to many to be stalling, even going into reverse, as protectionism grew in many countries and the US and China began to de-couple their economies. The pandemic has only accelerated this shift by triggering a backlash against long, vulnerable supply chains. It has also exposed the weakness of multilateral institutions and so raised the spectre of a deglobalized world of trading blocs and barriers. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by James Crabtree, Associate Fellow, Asia-Pacific Programme, Chatham House; Associate Professor in Practice, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore; and Alicia García-Herrero, Senior Fellow, Bruegel. Listen as they discuss the political forces driving deglobalization, including technological innovation as well as geopolitics, and what a less connected “new normal” might look like. Was the pre-pandemic model of hyper-globalization effective and sustainable? Who will be the economic winners and losers in a deglobalized world? To what extent can multilateral organizations be renewed and countries spared the necessity to choose sides in a zero-sum G-2 decoupling? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

The impact of protectionism on the global trade landscape. Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Chris Southworth, Secretary General, International Chamber of Commerce UK Emmanuelle Butaud-Stubbs, Secretary General, International Chamber of Commerce France Christian Bluth, Megatrends Project Manager, Bertelsmann Stiftung This podcast episode was recorded on Sept 1 2020 Even before the pandemic struck, a rising tide of protectionism was eroding the global trading system. Responding to the growing scepticism of voters about the benefits of open trade, policy makers in both developed and developing economies were increasingly turning to the protectionist tool-kit – to tit-for-tat tariffs, restrictive measures, and subsidies. The economic devastation caused by Covid-19 has only strengthened the protectionist impulse globally. In the immediate crisis countries acted swiftly and unilaterally to implement more restrictive and discriminatory trade measures, particularly in the health sector. Now the focus has shifted to rebuilding national economies, generating jobs, preserving public services, and securing living standards. As governments worldwide confront these challenges, opinion surveys in multiple countries show support for protectionism and a belief that the solution lies in “taking back control”. In this podcast, moderated by Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute, Christian Bluth of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, Emmanuelle Butaud-Stubbs and Chris Southworth from the International Chamber of Commerce discuss the impact of protectionism on the global trade landscape. Can the protectionist tide be checked? What more can business do to strengthen the political case for bringing down trade barriers as a route to growth? And how can trade be made more inclusive and sustainable, so that the benefits of open markets are both recognised and more widely shared? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

What can we expect for the digital economy after COVID-19? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Marietje Schaake, International Policy Director at the Cyber Policy Center, Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center Alan Beattie, Associate Fellow, Global Economy and Finance Programme and Europe Programme, Chatham House; and Senior Trade Writer, Financial Times This podcast episode was recorded on 31 August 2020 The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing challenges, opportunities and transformations that are reshaping the world's multilateral trading system. Digital trade and technologies are redefining how and where products are made, shipped and consumed. Digitisation in trade and services was transformative to economies before COVID-19; however, the pandemic has rapidly accelerated this disruption. In this podcast moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Marietje Schaake, International Policy Director at the Cyber Policy Center, Stanford University's Cyber Policy Center; and Alan Beattie, Associate Fellow, Global Economy and Finance Programme and Europe Programme, Chatham House; and Senior Trade Writer, Financial Times. Listen as they discuss the technological changes and regulations reshaping the landscape of global trade. In the digital realm, where does value get created and redistributed? With countries considering measures to tax the digital economy, is the digital arena becoming yet another stage on which geopolitical tensions will play out? Or, is there the potential for an alliance of like-minded democracies to come together on issues relating to the digital economy? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Europe's response to Covid-19 and the pandemic's impact on the EU trade agenda. Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Elvire Fabry, Senior Research Fellow, Jacques Delors Institute Ignacio Garcia Bercero, Director, Directorate General for Trade of the European Commission; European Union Visiting Fellow, Oxford University This podcast episode was recorded on June 9 2020. Even before the pandemic struck, the rules-based system was threatened by rising nationalism and creeping trade protectionism. Now COVID-19 has prompted a global recession and a slump in trade as global value chains adjust. All this is happening with the World Trade Organisation in crisis and international coordination bedevilled by US-China competition. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Elvire Fabry of the Jacques Delors Institute and Ignacio Garcia-Bercero of the European Commission and Oxford University. Listen as they discuss Europe's response to the multi-faceted COVID-19 crisis and its impact on the European Union's trade agenda. With the US and China at loggerheads, will the EU step up to champion the multilateral order? Or will economic and political pressures lead to a more protectionist approach from Brussels? And will the trade agenda that emerges from this crisis prove compatible with the EU's ambitious sustainability goals? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement is a major step for Africa's role in international trade Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Katrin Kuhlmann, Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown Law; President and Founder, New Markets Lab Wamkele Mene, Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat This podcast episode was recorded on 7 October 2020 The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. The global trade system is at a critical inflection point, under pressure from economic nationalism and protectionism across much of the world. Yet, in Africa, trade integration is moving forward, and fast. At a time when the system is under increasing pressure, the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement has been hailed as much needed commitment to the international rules-based order. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Katrin Kuhlmann, Visiting Professor of Law, Georgetown Law; President and Founder, New Markets Lab and Wamkele Mene, Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat. Listen as they discuss the outlook for regional trade integration in Africa, and what impact the COVID-19 pandemic is having on African economies. Can the AfCFTA live up to expectations, integrating markets and overcoming fragmentation, to deliver inclusive and sustainable growth across the continent? With Sub-Saharan Africa entering a recession for the first time in 25 years, how can global and regional trade be part of the post-pandemic recovery? And with firm leadership being shown from African leaders in the trade-sphere, should we expect a more active role for the continent at the World Trade Organization and on the global trade stage? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Reconciling global trade and sustainability Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Geneviève Pons, Director General of the Brussels office, Jacque Delors Institute Pascal Lamy, President Emeritus, Jacques Delors Institute This podcast episode was recorded on July 16 2020 The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing challenges, opportunities and transformations that are reshaping the world's multilateral trading system. As politicians and business leaders focus on restoring the world economy after the sudden disruption caused by COVID-19, it seems that the concerns with climate change have taken a back seat. And yet, in the EU, there is real leadership being seen when it comes to using the green agenda to drive economic recovery. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Geneviève Pons, director general of the Brussels office of the Jacque Delors Institute and honorary Director of the European Commission; and Pascal Lamy, president emeritus of the Jacque Delors Institute and the former director general of the World Trade Organization and former EU trade commissioner. Listen as they discuss the link between the future of the global trade system, the effort to address climate change, and how COVID-19 has impacted it all. Can job creation, investment, redevelopment, fossil fuel transition and waste management be aligned with green agenda targets? Can trade liberalization be promoted while also preserving climate conditionalities and carbon border adjustments? Or, are the worlds of global trade and sustainability simply too far apart to ever reconcile? The Delors Institute published a report ‘Greener After' which focuses on the green recovery stimulus for Europe post COVID-19. Many of the topics covered in this podcast are developed in the report.

Where next for transatlantic trade? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Marie Kasperek, Director, Institute of International Economic Law, Georgetown Law; Non Resident Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council Marianne Schneider-Petsinger, Senior Research Fellow, US and the Americas Programme, Chatham House Andreas Esche, Director, Bertelsmann Stiftung This podcast episode was recorded on Aug 17 2020 The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 analyses the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. The European Union and the United States are each other's most important trading partner, with overall trade in goods and services between the two worth over $1.3trillion annually. However, the transatlantic trade relationship is currently strained; with tit for tat punitive tariffs overshadowing the possibility of an EU-US free trade agreement. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Marie Kasperek, Director, Institute of International Economic Law, Georgetown Law; Non Resident Senior Fellow, Atlantic Council; Marianne Schneider-Petsinger, Senior Research Fellow, US and the Americas Programme, Chatham House; and Andreas Esche, Director, Bertelsmann Stiftung. Listen as they discuss the transatlantic trade relationship and whether the pandemic has made a trade collision between the EU and US more or less likely. How might the US Election in November shape trade relations between the world's largest trading partners, and multilateralism more broadly? Is there a possibility of reaching a trade détente and even revisiting TTIP? Or will the threat of escalating tariffs continue down a path to further confrontation? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

As the geopolitical and economic rivalry between the US and China intensifies, what will ‘decoupling' mean in practice for the world's two superpowers? As the stand-off continues, is the European Union destined to be a bystander, or can the European Commission seize a leadership role in protecting multilateralism and promoting global free trade? In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Yu Jie, Senior Research Fellow on China, Chatham House; Scott Kennedy, Senior Adviser and Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics, Center for Strategic and International Studies; and Frans-Paul van der Putten, Senior Research Fellow, the Clingendael China Centre.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to place the world economy under great strain, supply chains fragility, resurgent protectionism and continued U.S.-China trade war all cast a gloomy shadow over the future of multilateral trade…and whether the World Trade Organization or the G20 can do anything about it. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Professor Jennifer Hillman of the Council on Foreign Relations and Georgetown Law Center, and Ambassador Rufus Yerxa, former Deputy U.S. Trade Representative and current President of the National Foreign Trade Council.

Can the multilateral trade system point to a way forward for global economic recovery once the pandemic is over? Will the stress that COVID-19 placed upon global medical supply chains spotlight the opportunity to promote world health as a factor of global commerce? And perhaps most importantly, can the U.S.-China trade war be put back into a multilateral context? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

Where does Brexit leave the UK-US Trade Deal? Moderator: Rem Korteweg, Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute Panellists: Marjorie Chorlins, Senior Vice President for European Affairs, U.S. Chamber of Commerce David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy This podcast episode was recorded on June 25 2020. The AIG Global Trade Series 2020 examines the ongoing transformation of the world's multilateral trading system. We enter the second half of the year with the UK facing the very real prospect of exiting the European Union without a trade deal. As the talks with Brussels approach a conclusion which will have long-term consequences for the British economy, the UK government is looking to secure growth by enhancing its trade relations with the United States. In Washington meanwhile, future trade with both the UK and the EU is being seen through the prism of geopolitical self-interest and a Presidential election campaign. In this podcast, moderator Rem Korteweg of the Clingendael Institute is joined by Marjorie Chorlins, Senior Vice President for European Affairs at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Executive Director of the U.S.-UK Business Council, and by David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project, European Centre for International Political Economy. Listen as they discuss the future of an independent UK trade policy in an era of Covid-19 and US-China confrontation. What does the UK hope to achieve by negotiating simultaneously with its two largest trading partners—the United States and the European Union? How is this viewed from the United States, which must evaluate the benefits of having the UK outside of the EU as a potential free trading partner? Is there really enough time left in 2020 to create a series of workable trade deals out of the vast amount of details yet to be settled? Or will the UK's political need to craft a deal of any kind override any obstacles in its way? __________ The views and opinions expressed in this podcast series are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of American International Group, Inc. or its subsidiaries or affiliates (“AIG”).

In The Origins of Political Order (2011), Fukuyama described the problem of creating modern political institutions as one of “getting to Denmark”. The country, in his own words at the time, was “a mythical place known for its stable, democratic, peaceful, prosperous and inclusive institutions”. A few miles south of Denmark lie the Netherlands, a country that last week renewed Mark Rutte’s mandate to lead a coalition, from a somewhat reshuffled Parliament this time. Our two guests this week highlight a gradual shift in the core of Dutch politics towards a blend of fiscal hawkishness, moderate Euroscepticism and even a less liberal social policy than the Dutch norm. No other country, however, seems to have journeyed further into the proverbial Third Way and the technocratization of vast swathes of government policy. Simon Kuper (Financial Times) and Rem Korteweg (Clingendael Institute) walk us through the Fukuyamaesque clichés borne out in last week's race, whilst giving due warning that not everything is as may rosily seem in the Dutch Low Countries.

Alles staat in het teken van de EU-top van dit weekend en dus bellen Tim en Arend Jan met Rem Korteweg, Brexit- en EU-specialist van Instituut Clingendael. Kan er ondanks het pessimisme toch een doorbraak verwacht worden? En hoe hard gaat Rutte het spelen? Verder schijnen de mannen hun licht op de ontwikkelingen rondom Huawei in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, en ook de Queen passeert de revue.

De aandacht voor Brexit sneeuwt volledig onder in het geweld van de coronacrisis, al betekent dat niet dat de Britse regering voornemens is de deadline voor het vertrek uit de EU te verschuiven. En zo koersen we alsnog af op een no-deal. Hoog tijd voor correspondent Tim de Wit en historicus Arend Jan Boekestijn om weer bij te praten met Rem Korteweg. Korteweg is Brexit- en EU-specialist voor Instituut Clingendael, de gerenommeerde denktank.

Europa gaat gebukt onder de coronacrisis, dan denken Londen en Brussel even niet meer aan de onderhandelingen over het vrijhandelsakkoord tussen Groot-Brittannië en de EU. Zou je denken tenminste. De Britse regering wil de deadline voor die gesprekken niet verschuiven. Politiek spel? Of is het ze menens? Deze week is Rem Korteweg te gast bij correspondent Tim de Wit en historicus Arend Jan Boekestijn. Korteweg is Brexit- en EU-specialist voor Instituut Clingendael, de gerenommeerde denktank.

Vandaag beginnen de belangrijke onderhandelingen die bepalen hoe de Britten afscheid van de Europese Unie nemen. Wordt het een nette boedelscheiding of toch meer een vechtscheiding? De hele week vinden in Brussel op topniveau gesprekken plaats op vele fronten: van handel tot visserij en industrie. Maar kunnen de twee exen er wel samen uitkomen? Terwijl de EU duidelijke afspraken wil, dreigt Boris Johnson alweer met een no-deal. Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael en voormalig correspondent Hieke Jippes over de spannende periode die voor beide partijen aanbreekt.

Hormoonvlees en chloorkippen, een oncontroleerbare stroom verkeerde producten en nare gevolgen voor burgers, dieren en natuur. Dat komt op ons af als handelsverdrag CETA doorgaat, volgens tegenstanders. Bangmakerij of realiteit? Waarom roepen handelsverdragen tegenwoordig zoveel controverse op? En wat belooft dit voor de Brexitonderhandelingen? Bernard Hammelburg bespreekt het met handelsexpert Rem Korteweg, verbonden aan Instituut Clingendael.

Deze week valt een besluit over ratificatie van het handelsverdrag CETA met Canada. Hoog tijd scherp te krijgen waar het akkoord nu over gaat - en waar het níet over gaat. Want volgens Clingendael-onderzoeker Rem Korteweg zijn er nogal wat misverstanden over het verdrag en de betekenis voor Nederland.

"Je ziet jezelf misschien niet als een natuurlijke Tory, maar ik ben dankbaar dat je op mij hebt vertrouwd.” Zo bedankte Boris Johnson in zijn overwinningsspeech de traditionele labourstemmers, die nu tóch steun gaven aan zijn partij. Dat Labour haar kiezers niet kon overtuigen werd pijnlijk duidelijk. Met de overwinning van de conservatieven, én meerderheid in het parlement, zit Johnson nu eindelijk op de plek waar hij zijn geliefde Brexit waar kan maken. Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael licht toe.

De Wereldhandelsorganisatie (WTO) is toch dat overlegorgaan over internationale handel? Klopt, maar de organisatie doet ook rechterlijke uitspraken in internationale handelsconflicten. Misschien heb je wel over de Europese frietruzie met Colombia gehoord of de uitspraak in het conflict tussen de EU en de Verenigde Staten om Airbus. Vanaf morgen is de afdeling die rechterlijke uitspraken doet, het Beroepsorgaan, vleugellam. En dat heeft alles te maken met de Amerikaanse president Trump, vertelt Rem Korteweg van instituut Clingendael. "Je hebt drie rechters nodig om een rechtszaak in behandeling te nemen. Morgen gaan er twee met pensioen en door een boycot van de VS komen er geen nieuwe rechters bij." Korteweg legt in De Dag uit wat de gevolgen zijn voor de internationale economie en welke oplossingen Europa in de pijplijn heeft.

Zijn we in Nederland alert genoeg om als exportland écht mee te blijven spelen in turbulente tijden? Wat zijn de risicos voor een handelsland dat voor ruim een derde deel van het inkomen afhankelijk is van de export? En gaan we daar goed mee om? Een diepte-analyse met Rem Korteweg, Europa deskundige bij Clingendael.

Tussen al het politieke rumoer door, zou je bijna vergeten dat Boris Johnson wel een deal heeft gesloten met de EU, waar het parlement ook mee aan de slag wil. Die deal gaan we in deze podcast ontleden met Rem Korteweg van instituut Clingendael. Zo is er een verschil tussen de deal en de aanvullende politieke verklaringen. En daar zit de speelruimte, zegt Korteweg: "Alles wat in die politieke verklaringen staat, moet je met een hele grote korrel zout nemen." Als Johnsons deal het haalt, is er overigens nog geen reden voor slingers. "Dan denken we dat we een nodealbrexit hebben voorkomen, maar in feite stellen we hem een jaartje uit."

Rem Korteweg discusses with Ingrid d'Hooghe and Ties Dams the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and the Hong Kong protests.

De Britse premier Theresa May nam 7 juni ontslag als leider van de Conservatieve Partij. Ze blijft wel aan als premier tot haar partijgenoten een opvolger hebben gekozen. Die interne partijverkiezing begint volgende week maar in onofficieel zijn ze al lang begonnen. Over wat Theresa May achterlaat en wie de grootste kanshebbers zijn voor het premierschap. Dat legt Rem Korteweg, Brexit-expert bij Instituut Clingendael uit in deze Podcast van Nu.nl 'Dit wordt het nieuws'.

Die interne partijverkiezing begint volgende week maar in onofficieel zijn ze al lang begonnen. Over wat Theresa May achterlaat en wie de grootste kanshebbers zijn voor het premierschap. Dat legt Rem Korteweg, Brexit-expert bij Instituut Clingendael uit in deze uitzending.

Na 18 maanden onderhandelen met de Europese Unie, na eindeloze politieke conflicten met Labour, interne ruzies in haar eigen partij, urenlange debatten en stemmingen in het Lagerhuis, stond Theresa May vanochtend heel kort, in tranen voor Downing Street number Ten. Per 7 juni stapt ze op, en zo maakt ze een einde aan haar lange lijdensweg als premier. Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael over wat dit betekent voor de Brexit.

Precies duizend dagen geleden hebben de Britten gestemd voor uittreding van het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie, maar nog steeds ligt er geen definitief Brexitplan. Het Britse parlement is nu in spoed zitting bijeen en er gaat het gerucht dat premier May vanavond een speech gaat houden voor Downing Street nr.10 Te gast in onze Battle for Brexit-rubriek Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

Over precies twee maanden is het Brexitdag en treedt het Verenigd Koninkrijk uit de Europese Unie. Tenminste, als er vanavond in het Britse Lagerhuis niet gestemd wordt vóór het verlengen van deze deadline. Ook de backstop, die een harde grens tussen de twee Ierlanden moet voorkomen, kan door de parlementsleden worden aangepast. Te gast in de Battle for Brexit-rubriek is Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

Premier Theresa May presenteert vandaag in het Lagerhuis haar aanpassingen om de Brexit-deal met de EU nog te redden. Veel hoop is er niet voor dit zogeheten Plan B, verwacht wordt dan ook dat dit voorstel geen steun zal krijgen van het parlement. Ook binnen de EU is negatief gereageerd op gelekte stukken uit dit plan. Te gast in onze Battle for Brexit-rubriek is Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

Theresa May maakt zich op voor misschien wel haar laatste slag in deze lange en chaotische Brexit-week. Ze moet een vertrouwensstemming binnen haar eigen partij zien te winnen. Wat zijn de gevolgen voor de Brexit als zij vanavond toch het veld moet ruimen? Te gast Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

De Britse premier Theresa May treft woensdag Europese Commissie-president Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussel om de vorderingen van de Brexit te bespreken. Spanje plaatst al kanttekeningen bij het voorlopige Brexit-akkoord en ook andere EU-lidstaten zien niet al hun nationale belangen terug in het conceptakkoord. Gaat het Britse parlement veranderingen in de toch al fel bekritiseerde Brexit-deal wel slikken? In de rubriek Battle for Brexit is te gast Clingendael-onderzoeker Rem Korteweg.

De spanning is te snijden in Londen waar premier May de Brexit-deal met haar ministers bespreekt. Hoe valt de omstreden Brexit-deal bij haar ministers? En wat gaat het Lagerhuis doen, dat nu al zeer kritisch staat tegenover de deal?

De EU-top morgen moet een doorbraak over de Brexit opleveren, maar de onderhandelingen lopen vast op de Noord-Ierse grens. Vanavond komen de 27 leiders van de EU samen tijdens een informeel diner. Premier May mag zelf niet mee eten, maar krijgt vooraf wel tijd om nog één keer de Britse positie toe te lichten. Daar zijn dertig minuten voor uitgetrokken. Volgens EU-president Donald Tusk is een harde Brexit waarschijnlijker dan ooit. Te gast op dit spannende moment in de onderhandelingen is Rem Korteweg van Instituut Clingendael.

Brexit-deskundige Rem Korteweg geeft duiding.

Zoals eerder aangekondigd herschikt premier Theresa May haar kabinet. En vanaf vanmiddag worden nieuwe benoemingen bekend gemaakt.

Rem Korteweg on May's Brexit Speech (September 25, 2017) by the Clingendael Institute

Onverwacht verloor Theresa May haar meerderheid in het parlement. Maar ze wil gewoon door met gedoogsteun van de Unionistische partij DUP uit Noord-Ierland. “Let's get to work” Is het echt zo simpel?

Het is alweer een halfjaar geleden dat een meerderheid van de Britten stemde voor een Brexit. Inmiddels zijn ze in het Verenigd Koninkrijk een nieuwe premier rijker en een boel illusies armer: de Britse break-up met de EU belooft een lange, pijnlijke scheiding te worden. Zeker nu blijkt dat beide partners zich geen raad weten hoe ze uit elkaar moeten gaan.
