Call for Submissions: Trade Experettes COVID-19 Blog Post Series

We are the Trade Experettes. We are women professionals in international trade - economists, academics, lawyers and public policy experts that strive to build a global interactive platform for trade policy discussions and to share outstanding ideas.

The Trade Experettes are located in countries around the world, all of which have been hit by COVID-19 to varying degrees. Given our multidisciplinary and diverse network, we are well placed to contribute to the discourse on the trade-related aspects of the current crisis, and to find pragmatic solutions and possible areas for cooperation.

The editors of the Trade Experettes blog are requesting submissions to contribute to a special series of blog posts dedicated to the current crisis. Topics can include, but are not limited to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on:

Global value chains

Import/export restrictions

Consumer behavior

Infrastructure requirements

International institutions (WTO, FTAs, BITs, etc.)

International/regional cooperation

Particular challenges for developing countries

Food trade and food security

Regional/country specific impacts

Patents/licensing with regard to vaccine development

Regulatory barriers to trade (ie. PPE, ventilators, medicines)

Blog posts should aim to be anywhere from 750-1200 words, include hyperlinks for in-text citations, and accessible to a broader audience (please limit jargon).

We are accepting submissions on a rolling basis. Please send your posts and any questions to editors@tradeexperettes.org. For more information about the Trade Experettes, visit our website here.

We look forward to sharing your expertise with our broader network!

Stay safe and healthy,
