TY - CHAP U1 - Buchbeitrag A1 - Weiss, Wolfgang T1 - EU multilateral trade policy in a changing, multipolar world: The way forward T2 - Global Politics and EU Trade Policy: facing the challenges to a multilateral approach N2 - This chapter identifies the most pressing challenges for the EU multilaterally oriented trade policy due to the changing global context for international trade and investment, caused by the shift of the US towards unilateralism and protectionism and by the re-orientation of China´s exceptionalism towards becoming a more influential actor. It explores and assesses how EU trade policy copes with the new polarities and finally formulates proposals for the way forward for the EU multilateral trade policy. It will be shown that the current challenges are more fundamental in character and may last longer than currently anticipated. It will also highlight that maintaining unity in the EU determination of trade policy is of pivotal importance for addressing the challenges, which however might become more difficult.
