With shifting geopolitical alliances, post-Brexit trade arrangements, and the rise of digital and green trade, Scotland faces a distinct set of challenges and opportunities within the broader UK and international context. In support of the SCGA State of the World project, this workshop provides a unique forum to strengthen evidence-based policymaking through dialogue between academics and government practitioners; position Scotland at the forefront of innovative thinking on sustainable and inclusive trade policy; and identify collaborative research opportunities aligned with Scotland’s trade and industrial strategic priorities. Two expert panels bring together academic experts to discuss the latest developments in the international trade system and what they mean for Scotland and the UK. Participants will then engage in more sustained reflection on how Scotland can best navigate these changes through a roundtable discussion and networking breaks.Speakers include: Emily Jones (Oxford University), Scott Lavery (University of Glasgow), Chad Damro (University of Edinburgh), Gabriel Siles Brügge (University of Bristol), Maha Rafi Atal (University of Glasgow), Silke Trommer (University of Manchester) and Lindsey Garner Knapp (Cardiff University).The event is organised by Julia Calvert, Senior Lecturer in International Political Economy and James Scott, Reader in International Politics. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/edinburgh/scga-scotland-and-the-state-of-world-trade/100001984372442393 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Business - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Edinburgh - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Futures Institute (Room 1.55) - **lat**: 55.94473230000001 - **long**: -3.192856 - **full address**: Futures Institute (Room 1.55), 1 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: SCGA Scotland and the State of World Trade - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/160c52e8cbcb2683db12f7fb8638ef64dda780893442ab41c207b667b5b60b77-rimg-w981-h582-dc005198-gmir.jpg?v=1772797108 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is SCGA Scotland and the State of World Trade being held? - **A:** SCGA Scotland and the State of World Trade takes place on Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am to Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 05:00 pm at Futures Institute (Room 1.55), 1 Lauriston Place, Edinburgh, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing SCGA Scotland and the State of World Trade? - **A:** SCGA Scotland and the State of World Trade is organized by Scottish Council on Global Affairs. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
