The Global Trade War
Vinod Aggarwal is a scholar of the international political economy, focusing his research on the Asia-Pacific region for forty-one years. He analyzes different aspects of the global trade war and offers strategic advice to other countries in this US-China technical hegemonic era.
In this lecture series, he will explain to us why and how the current free trade system came into being, the background of FTAs and the WTO, the arrival of the US-China bipolar power era, and the international hegemonic conflict concerning the high-tech industries. While the news can only scratch the surface of the complexities of the international political economy, this course will give you the tools necessary to fully understand what’s going on in this area today.
