In a world where global economic and political processes are in constant flux, international trade is facing new challenges and growing uncertainty. The war in Ukraine, geopolitical shifts, the redistribution of global trade flows, and the battle for new markets present both unprecedented opportunities and serious threats for national economies and international businesses. Regional trade agreements, changing balances of power, rising tariff barriers, and escalating trade wars are just some of the key issues confronting businesses, governments, and legal professionals today.
