Academic Symposium on "2022 International Trade Disputes and the Restructuring of Globalization"
Organized by: Center for International Finance and Economics Research (CIFER), National Institute of Financial Research, Tsinghua University
Dates: December 2-3
The current global situation is volatile, and international trade and the global governance system still face significant challenges. A new world driven by innovation-based economic growth has arrived. Faced with unprecedented changes in a century, maintaining the domestic and international dual circulation of value chains, the stability of the financial system, and sustained economic growth are paramount in understanding and analyzing the current situation and adjusting corresponding policies. These are also urgent tasks for academia, policymakers, and businesses. The Sino-US trade dispute has far-reaching implications, yet academic and policy research on this issue lags far behind reality.
The academic symposium on "International Trade Disputes and the Restructuring of Globalization," launched in December 2018, has been successfully held four times, accumulating nearly a thousand academic paper submissions worldwide and attracting tens of thousands of attendees. This year, the fifth international academic symposium on "International Trade Disputes and the Restructuring of Globalization" is being held as scheduled. This academic conference aims to unite major domestic and international academic and policy research institutions to conduct comprehensive and multi-faceted discussions on multiple topics, clarifying facts, objectively analyzing issues, exploring problems, building consensus, establishing analytical frameworks, promoting academic research, and discussing possible policy recommendations.
