• CCG in Dialogue with Aaditya MattooJanuary 16 , 2024

  The recent resurgence in protection is driven by objectives that vary across countries and sectors. Classifying interventions by objective can help evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the chosen instrument. Three broad concerns dominate: that trade is regressive, risky, or rivalrous. Correspondingly, observed measures are presented as remedying inequality, risk, or imbalances in market access.

The goals prompting protection are in most cases better achieved through increased, not reduced, international openness and cooperation.
