Queen's Institute on Trade Policy - 2025

The purpose of the 2025 edition of the Queen’s Institute on Trade Policy is to prepare trade officials to navigate this new trade policy landscape. The first part of the Institute will survey the state of global trade and will provide conceptual and theoretical background on the new supply chain trade policy. The second part of the Institute will explore examples of that policy in action in relation to various sectors and supply chains, including agriculture, (electric) vehicles, semiconductors, and critical minerals. The final part of the Institute will discuss the implications of the new supply chain trade policy for domestic institutional arrangements for trade policy development and for the future of international trade cooperation.
