Pathways to Sustainable Trade and Peace
“Pathways to Sustainable Trade and Peace” is the first WTO publication dedicated to an in-depth exploration of the complex relationship between trade and peace. The publication examines a number of critical questions. How do trade and peace interact? Can trade be leveraged to foster economic development and stability? What can governments and other stakeholders do to foster positive interaction between trade and peace?
The publication focuses specifically but not exclusively on fragile and conflict-affected economies, including case studies and analyses from various policy angles.
