This academic podcast, hosted by Professor Joachim Schild of Trier University's Jean Monnet Chair in EU Trade Policy, examines how the European Union navigates an increasingly fractured global trade order. Co-funded by the European Commission, each episode features in-depth conversations with leading scholars and researchers—such as Professor Xenia Matschke and doctoral candidate Bastian Dürr—unpacking pressing issues like US-EU tariff disputes, the legal battles over Trump-era trade policy, and Europe's strategic scramble for critical raw materials amid rising tensions with China. The tone is scholarly yet accessible, blending legal, economic, and geopolitical analysis to explain how trade policy intersects with power politics. Episodes are structured as expert dialogues that unpack historical context, current events, and policy implications, making complex trade law and international economics digestible for informed listeners. This podcast appeals to students, policymakers, academics, and professionals interested in international relations, economic diplomacy, and Europe's evolving role in a geo-economically contested world, offering a distinctly European and rigorously analytical lens on global trade conflicts.
