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
-

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 [email protected]. For more information about the Trade Experettes, visit our website here.
