Description

In this episode, Jean Blaylock, trade campaigner at Global Justice Now is joined by Sharon Treat, senior attorney at the Institute of Agriculture and Trade Policy in the US, Cecilia Olivet, co-ordinator of the trade and investment programme at the Transnational Institute, and Nick Dearden, director of Global Justice Now.

They discuss how trade rules underpin the corporate structure of the global economy, what the Trump administration's trade agenda is, and how the pandemic could lead to a new wave of corporate court (ISDS) cases – and what we can do to change this.
