# Event Details - **Event Name**: Trade in a turbulent world: tariffs, Trump and geopolitical risk - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 25 Aug, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Why has global trade instability continued to increase? Explore tariffs, conflict and whether international cooperation can still work.About this EventTalk DescriptionThe global trading system is under strain with a new security dynamic disrupting decades of progress on agreed rules to govern trade. The United States and China in particular have used tariffs and export controls since 2018 to restrict and prevent trade. Alongside geopolitical conflicts and rivalries, these have forced many companies into defensive supply chain restructuring.Risks escalated with President Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation day’ tariffs in April 2025, forcing countries into asymmetric bilateral trade “deals” with the United States. These tariffs were partially wound back (and ruled illegal), but uncertainty persists with new tariffs announced in June 2026 targeting more than 60 countries – including New Zealand.Join Professor Natasha Hamilton-Hart as she tries to make sense of this turbulence. She will explore how trade logic shifts when economic transactions carry security implications, discuss collective action, and unpack why mutually-beneficial cooperation can be difficult, but not impossible.BioNatasha Hamilton-Hart is a Professor in the Business School’s Department of Management and International Business. Her research has focused on business-government relations in East Asia, particularly Southeast Asia, as well as regional trade and supply chain restructuring.
