The fourth edition of Axial Shifts, ENSURED’s biannual newsletter, spotlights five new research reports on trade, climate, health, migration, and digitisation. Plus: fresh blog insights, a history note on the FAO’s founding, and new academic work from our network.
International cooperation is changing. As geopolitical frictions mount across policy areas from trade to climate and health, ENSURED examines how the EU can help defend multilateralism and make global governance more robust, effective, and democratic. Axial Shifts curates key ideas and updates from across the project for policymakers, scholars, and engaged citizens.
What’s inside this issue:
- Five latest ENSURED reports: On the WTO’s expanding scope; the Paris Agreement at 10; the WHO Pandemic Agreement; the Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees; and pathways toward global crypto regulation.
- Blog highlights: On evolving “differential treatment” norms in trade, how “dictators’ clubs” reshape multilateralism, and much more.
- Events, Events, Events: From Brussels to Chicago, ENSURED has convened 16+ roundtables, conferences, and dialogues, including a webinar on navigating regime complexity in global health.
- In Global Governance History: The founding of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and why World Food Day still matters.
- Hot off the academic presses: ENSURED coordinator Hylke Dijkstra on what an early Trump 2.0 means for international organisations.
