The multilateral trade system under stress

Charting Asia's path forward

The volume aims to examine questions surrounding the shifts occurring to the current multilateral framework and propose answers that can enrich current policy dialogues on free trade and the limits to multilateralism. Current developments and supranational responses to the challenges faced by the dominant multilateral trading system are discussed with special focus on the proposals for reforming the World Trade Organization (WTO). Asia’s role and country responses from leading economies in the region are also presented and discussed. It brings with it the need to revitalize multilateralism, upholding a cooperative international system that facilitates the achievement of common goals.

América Latina se ha convertido en el nuevo punto caliente mundial de la pandemia COVID-19

Las devastadoras consecuencias sanitarias y económicas

América Latina se ha convertido en el nuevo punto caliente mundial de la pandemia COVID-19. Además de las consecuencias para la salud de la crisis de la corona, los estados también temen las consecuencias económicas que tendrán los cierres nacionales. Para los aproximadamente 650 millones de personas de la región, la mayoría de las cuales trabajan en el sector informal y no pueden contar con ninguna protección estatal, la pandemia podría convertirse en una cuestión de supervivencia incluso sin altas tasas de infección.

Change of Government in Kosovo: Constitutional Court Paves the Way

According to the Constitutional Court ruling, a new government led by Avdullah Hoti of the LDK is expected to be formed swiftly

Following the overthrow of the previous government by a vote of no confidence on 25 March 2020 initiated by the coalition partner Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK), there has long been uncertainly about further political developments on the Kosovo field. Although on 30 April President Hashim Thaçi had mandated Avdullah Hoti of the LDK to form a government, the legitimacy of the mandate was however called into question and brought before the Constitutional Court by members of the Vetëvendosje (VV), the party belonging to the toppled Prime Minister Albin Kurti. The legal blockade for the formation of a new government has now been eliminated with the final decision taken by the Constitutional Court: late in the evening on 28 May, the Constitutional Court ruled that President Thaçi acted lawfully when he gave Hoti the task of forming the government.
