Trade Rounds : Jacques Delors Institute x PSIA Trade Policy Series

Trade Rounds: A Public Lecture Series on Trade Policy

Trade Rounds is a series of public discussions on trade policy jointly organised by the Jacques Delors Institute and Sciences Po’s Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA). It brings together scholars who study international trade, negotiators and public officials who shape its rules, and business leaders who experience and influence its consequences, fostering an open exchange on the issues reshaping the global trading order.

Each session convenes academics, practitioners, and policymakers for a public debate attended by PSIA students, members of the academic and policy communities, representatives of public administrations and diplomatic missions, as well as citizens with an interest in trade policy.

The series is held several times throughout each academic year. Its name refers to the successive rounds of trade negotiations that helped build the post-war international trading system. It also reflects a commitment to candid, thought-provoking exchanges that seek to deepen understanding and enrich the debate, rather than pursue consensus at all costs.
