A New Decade: The Path to Sustainable and Inclusive Trade

Invitation Only Research Event

17 January 2020 - 8:15am to 9:15am

Chatham House | 10 St James's Square | London | SW1Y 4LE

Event participants

Arancha González, Executive Director, International Trade Centre
Chair: Marianne Schneider-Petsinger, Research Fellow, US and the Americas Programme, Chatham House

Trade has received a lot of attention recently with the US and China still negotiating a trade agreement and the World Trade Organization coming under threat. But the global trade system is also adapting to changing geopolitical dynamics and rapid technological transformations. In light of a backlash against globalization, how can trade be made more sustainable and inclusive? What actions are needed for global trade and the trading system to adjust to changes in technology and environmental considerations? What efforts are key players such as the US, EU and China taking on these fronts?

Against this backdrop, Ms Arancha González will join us for a roundtable discussion on the future of trade and how trade can play a key role in adjusting to the changes that will take place in societies over the next decade. 

The Chatham House US and Americas Programme would like to thank founding partner AIG and supporting partners Clifford Chance LLP and Diageo plc for their generous support of the Chatham House Global Trade Policy Forum.

Neonatal End-of-Life Care: A Single-Center NICU Experience in Israel Over a Decade

Neonatal mortality rate and causes of death have been relatively stable in recent years. Decision-making practices preceding death of sick neonates affect the circumstances of death. These practices vary worldwide according to the team approach and local population background.

Although our population is mostly religious, we observed a decline in maximal intensive care along with increasing redirection of care over a decade. Changes in the team approach and increasing level of parental involvement influence type and duration of treatment. (Read the full article)

Spanking and Child Development Across the First Decade of Life

A large and growing literature has demonstrated significant associations between the use of spanking and later child aggression, but we know less about paternal spanking, effects of spanking on cognitive development, and longer-term effects.

Accounting for a broad array of risk factors, spanking predicts both aggression and receptive vocabulary across the first decade of life. Importantly, we include paternal spanking, cognitive outcomes, and a longitudinal span longer than that of much of the literature. (Read the full article)
