This report, requested by the AFET and INTA Committees, shines a spotlight on the rise of protectionism in the 21st century.
It examines the diplomatic dynamics behind economic nationalism and its attack on the established liberal international institutions that were created after the second World War to settle disputes without recourse to war.
