Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chalkboard Politics: Will Tariffs Unravel the Global Economic Order?
Q: How has the shift away from MFN/WTO norms changed the global trading system, and what might the future look like?
Moving away from MFN and WTO principles has encouraged countries to seek alternative regional agreements and to shield themselves from US policy; the future may involve a reordered system with coalitions and varied rules rather than a single, universal framework.
Chalkboard Politics: Will Tariffs Unravel the Global Economic Order?
Q: Why have tariffs been used in so many different contexts—economic, political, and strategic?
Tariffs serve multiple purposes: reindustrialization, bargaining leverage to change other countries' policies, geopolitical signaling, and sometimes revenue; the mix of aims often leads to conflicting incentives and unpredictable outcomes.
Chalkboard Politics: Will Tariffs Unravel the Global Economic Order?
Q: To start off, can you give us a basic definition of what a tariff is and what role it plays in the economy?
A tariff is a tax on imports that raises the price of foreign goods, helping domestic producers while potentially hurting consumers; it's a common tool governments use to influence trade flows and prices, though its effects can be complex due to pass-through and how firms adjust their behavior.
Chalkboard Politics: Are International Organizations Losing Authority?
Q: Can IOs survive if a dominant power withdraws support or shifts policy sharply?
Yes, but they must adapt strategically, appeasing some stakeholders while diversifying funding and governance to remain legitimate and effective.
Chalkboard Politics: Are International Organizations Losing Authority?
Q: How would you define an international organization in plain terms?
IOs are institutions that help states trust each other and credibly bind themselves to cooperative behavior, while offering mechanisms to resolve commitment problems and facilitate collective action.
