Patricia Garcia-Duran, researcher at EUSOV, is part of the research network ‘Trade Implementation and Enforcement Research’.
UACES has selected the network – Trade Implementation and Enforcement Research (TIER) Network – for funding over the next three years under its Research Network grants. UACES is still to inform all the participants, so we can make an announcement early next year but I thought it would be nice to share the good news ahead of the holidays.
The network consist of three aims
- To bring together different strands of research on negotiation, implementation and enforcement of trade provisions, as well as to make linkages to other areas of EU policy making, from which trade can learn such as foreign policy and development.
- To examine the evolution of the ‘open strategic autonomy’ approach and understand how it relates to processes of politicisation and depoliticisation of trade policy.
- To create linkages between scholars using qualitative and quantitative measurement techniques and engage Early Careers Researchers and PhD students
