  Abstract: The European Union (EU) overhauled its basic Anti-Dumping Regulation (BADR) in 2017 and 2018. Numerous academic discussions focus on the revised ‘dumping calculation methodology’. In contrast, the revised ‘injury and remedy’ rules, which have a global impact, have received less attention. This is the focus of this article. By examining the changes in the injury and remedy rules and EU anti-dumping practices after the revision, this article argues that the revisions in the injury and remedy rules, which affect all anti-dumping investigations and measures, widely improve the level of trade protection for EU industries, and its legitimacy, as well as WTO legality, are also problematic, although more hidden. The main function of antidumping has shifted from enforcing international fair trade law to being an interface mechanism between various economies, far beyond its original scope, especially when it targets to even the disparity in environmental and labour standards, wipe out the difference in obtaining raw materials, or remedy a glut on the world market.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: In this study, we assess factors influencing the demand for private reinsurance by public export credit agencies and export-import banks (ECAs), focusing on their specific characteristics. ECAs play a crucial role in bridging market gaps by offering trade credit insurance and investment guarantees, as well as equity and export financing. Together with private actors they were supporting more than USD 2.5 trillion of payment risk protection for trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) in 2023. Our findings show a strong relationship between reinsurance demand and the intervention principle, full faith and credit, managerial discretion, services of risk transfer and business diversification. The influence of regulation and financial strength is less clear. Our findings lead to the development of a framework outlining the contextual factors affecting the demand for reinsurance of public export credit agencies. This exploratory study contributes to existing theories of reinsurance demand and integrates practical feedback into the theoretical framework. Furthermore, it provides important recommendations for policymakers, public financial institutions and private actors supporting global trade and FDI.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: Increasingly, states are entering into trade agreements or negotiating initiatives which sustain Parties’ existing market access commitments and ‘behind-the-border’ regulatory barriers to trade. This article examines the political economy of such stabilizing trade agreements or initiatives (STAIs). First, it provides a functional account of what STAIs are as legal instruments and maps the formal diversity of such arrangements. Second, the article addresses how they may meaningfully support the welfare-enhancement and international security protection objectives typically pursued by international trade agreements. Finally, it shows how, in the absence of trade liberalization as a driving force, STAIs rely on three core governance functions: (1) stabilizing economic actor expectations when liberalization commitments between trade partners are rebalanced, (2) facilitating regulatory and political cooperation between trade partners, and (3) creating a first mover’s advantage for (coalitions of) trade partners in setting new rules of economic governance.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: As they attempt to nurture and govern AI, some nations areacting in ways that – with or without direct intent – discriminate among foreignmarket actors. For example, some governments are excluding foreign firms fromaccess to incentives for high-speed computing, or requiring local content inthe AI supply chain, or adopting export controls for the advanced chips thatpower many types of AI. If policy makers in country X can limit access to thebuilding blocks of AI – whether funds, data or high-speed computing power – itmight slow down or limit the AI prowess of its competitors in country Y and/orZ. At the same time, however, such policies could violate international tradenorms of non-discrimination. Moreover, if policy makers can shape regulationsin ways that benefit local AI competitors, they may also impede thecompetitiveness of other nations’ AI developers. Such regulatory policies couldbe discriminatory and breach international trade rules as well as long-standingrules about how nations and firms compete – which, over time, could reducetrust among nations. In this article, the author attempts to illuminate AInationalism and its consequences by answering four questions:– What are nations doing to nurture AI capacity within theirborders'– Are some of these actions trade distorting' – Are some nationsadopting twenty-first century beggar thy neighbour policies' – What are the implications of such trade-distortingactions'The author finds that AI nationalist policies appear to help countries with the largest and most established technology firms across multiple levels of the AI value chain. Hence, policy makers’ efforts to dominate these sectors, as example through large investment sums or beggar thy neighbour policies are not a good way to build trust.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: This article explores the structural complexities ofaddressing input subsidies under the countervailing duty (CVD) system, with aparticular focus on practices and legal developments in the US. Traditionally,input subsidies have been managed under the CVD system as ‘indirect’ subsidies.However, recent trends in the US reveal a shift towards addressing thesesubsidies within the anti-dumping (AD) framework; for example, by embracingthem as a particular market situation (PMS). This article identifies why inputsubsidies in earlier production stages are not effectively addressed under theCVD law by examining the structural limitations of the US CVD law and the WorldTrade Organization (WTO) jurisprudence. Specifically, through a review ofupstream subsidy cases in the US from January 2011 to July 2024, the articlehighlights the challenges and complexities involved in applying upstreamsubsidy provisions. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for clearerand more effective legal disciplines on input subsidies within the CVDframework to ensure comprehensive regulation of such practices.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: The failure of Ministerial Conferences (MC13) to delivermeaningful results has reignited the debate about World Trade Organization(WTO) governance and how to increase the chances of achieving better outcomesin future. Although there are many reasons for the disappointing results atMC13, this article addresses the specific issue of a lacking WTO Steering orExecutive Committee. The WTO is the only International Organization coming outof the Bretton Woods system that lacks such a set up. It is examined whetherthe informal Green Room that was abolished in 2014 could be brought back insome new form, in order to generate stronger informal engagement andopportunities for peer pressure between a representative sub-set of Members.While any change to the institutional set-up of an international organizationpresents significant challenges, the analysis suggests that it is at leastconceptually possible to combine balanced participation with a cap on numbersto protect effectiveness.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702

  Abstract: Almost four years following Brexit, in December 2023, theUnited Kingdom and Switzerland signed a mutual recognition agreement in thefinancial services sector. The ‘Berne Financial Services Agreement’ coversareas such as asset management, banking, investment services, and insurance.This paper provides the first analytical review of the Agreement by placing itwithin the broader theoretical framework of ‘regulatory divergence’ and ‘mutualrecognition’. This paper starts with a basic taxonomy of regulatory‘deference’, including institutional frameworks used to achieve regulatory andprudential objectives in the financial services sector. It then highlights thesensitivities at play and analyses the modalities and mechanisms of divergenceand deference. The paper reviews negotiated examples, including theUK-Switzerland mutual recognition agreement, before identifying the pathforward in the UK-European Union relationship in the financial services sector.Volume 59 Online ISSN 1011-6702
