International coop eration gradually developed towards an economic order based on the opening up of markets (notably through tariff reductions) and the predictability of mutually agreed rules. The multilateral trading system flourished in th e second half of the 20th century\, culminating in the creation of the Wor ld Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1995\, an institution with a universal voca tion.

\n

International trade sustained growth in many developed and d eveloping countries. Poverty and global North-South inequality have declin ed. Lower prices for imported goods have benefited the less affluent\, inc luding in advanced economies.

\n

But while progress is real\, the eco nomic well-being of households within the same country can vary widely. In the absence of adequate support measures\, some sections of society may b e at a loss when it comes to adapting to the opportunities offered by glob alisation and technological change. Political exploitation of the disconte nt did not take long.

\n

The clouds began to gather at the beginning of the 21st century. Despite some tangible progress\, the WTO negotiations have slowed down and the Doha Round launched in 2001 has fallen into leth argy. The dispute settlement system has been disrupted since December 2019 .

\n

The aspiration for strategic autonomy has also grown stronger af ter the COVID pandemic exposed significant dependencies in the supply of p roducts deemed essential. Concerns about China&rsquo\;s economic dirigisme are also mounting.

\n

Furthermore\, US trade policy has undergone dr astic changes with the sweeping imposition of additional customs tariffs\, notably with a view to reducing the trade deficit and revitalising Americ an industry.
