Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy

这是50年来英国首次对其贸易政策拥有“主权”。例如，它现在必须决定如何配置其自由贸易协定、进口食品和数字贸易法规，以及贸易和气候政策。与此同时，收入分配在英国变得高度敏感，决策权下放到英国的几个实体，世界贸易体系受到数字化和中国经济增长等一系列紧张局势的困扰。英国的政策如何应对这种情况，谁参与制定和审查这些政策，将影响几代人的经济成果，并影响社会的各个方面和英国的所有地区。包容性贸易政策中心（CITP）将在知识的前沿进行创新的跨学科研究，以帮助理解这些挑战和机遇，并为英国提供现代贸易政策做出贡献。除了国际化的方法外，CITP还旨在通过有针对性的沟通和与广泛的非学术利益相关者的持续接触来产生影响。最重要的是，我们的研究回应了这样一种观点，即贸易政策应该包括英国人民和地区的成果，以及通过考虑所有受影响者的观点来制定政策。这五个“I”是CITP工作的核心。贸易涉及主权国家之间的交换和协议，因此处于经济学和国际法的交汇处；这些学科与政治学、国际关系和商学一起构成了ctp的核心。ctp研究分为三个相互关联的主题：1。人员，公司和地点：关注贸易（政策）在英国四个国家的不同地点，公司和个人（作为消费者和工人）的不同影响。在本主题中，我们将讨论贸易壁垒的变化如何对生产率、供应链结构、当地劳动力市场和区域产生不同影响，以及了解这一点如何使贸易政策更有效率和更具包容性。2. 数字化与技术变革：探讨数字化对地理边界的驱动因素和后果，改变生产和交易的内容、方式、地点和人员。这里的关键是这如何影响贸易实践和管理它们的规则，以及技术变革、监管自治和国际合作之间的相互作用。在动荡的世界谈判：考虑贸易体系面临的挑战正在考验支撑开放贸易的合作与信任。CITP解决了这些问题以及贸易协定中的监管一致性以及这可能对国内监管产生的影响。它还将密切关注贸易政策制定在英国国家和地方政府之间引发的压力。通过主题运行真正的跨学科，创新方法的发展（包括贸易的经济建模，特别是英国内部贸易），新数据的创建（例如贸易中的就业），主要利益相关者和公众参与（公民陪审团），以确定英国作为一个整体从贸易政策中寻求什么，创新基金鼓励早期职业研究人员提出新的贸易研究，并致力于沟通和参与，以实现影响并最终产生变革。ctp建立在其组成大学——苏塞克斯、诺丁汉、斯特拉斯克莱德、皇后区（贝尔法斯特）、卡迪夫、剑桥、欧洲大学学院、伯克利、特拉维夫和乔治城（美国）——的成熟研究和影响成功的基础上。每个合作伙伴都为CITP带来了独特和互补的元素，扩展了其研究专长和地理覆盖范围，并创造了新的协同效应，以建立一个卓越的国际贸易政策研究中心。

For the first time in 50 years the UK has 'sovereignty' over its trade policy. It must now decide, for example, how to configure its free trade agreements, its regulations for imported food and digital trade and its trade and climate policies. Simultaneously, income distribution has become highly sensitive in the UK, policy-making power is devolved over several UK entities and the world trading system is beset by a range of tensions such as digitisation and Chinese growth. How UK policies respond to this, and who is involved in making and scrutinising them, will shape economic outcomes for generations and affect all parts of society and all regions of the UK.The Centre for Inclusive Trade Policy (CITP) will undertake INNOVATIVE, INTERDISCIPLINARY research at the frontier of knowledge, to help understand these challenges and opportunities and contribute to providing the UK with a modern trade policy. As well as being INTERNATIONAL in its approach, the CITP is designed to deliver IMPACT through targeted communications and sustained engagement with a wide range of non-academic stakeholders. Above all, our research responds to the view that trade policy should be INCLUSIVE in OUTCOMES for the people and regions of the UK, and in the FORMULATION OF POLICY by considering the views of all those affected. These five "I's" are core to the work of the CITP.Trade involves exchange and agreement between sovereign states and is thus at the interface of economics and international law; these disciplines form the core of the CITP, together with political science, international relations and business. CITP research is organised into three interrelated themes: 1. People, Firms and Places: focusses on the differential impact of trade (policy) across locations, firms and individuals (as consumers and workers) in the four nations of the UK. In this theme we will address how changes in trade barriers have differential impacts on productivity, the structure of supply chains, local labour markets and regions, and how knowledge of this can make trade policy more efficient and inclusive. 2. Digitisation and Technical Change: addresses the drivers and consequences of digitisation on geographical boundaries transforming what is produced and traded, how, where and by whom. Key here is how this impacts on trade practices and the rules governing them and the interaction between technical change, regulatory autonomy and international cooperation.3. Negotiating a Turbulent World: considers the way that challenges to the trading system are testing the cooperation and trust that underpins open trade. CITP addresses these issues as well as regulatory coherence in trade agreements and how this may impact on domestic regulation. It will also focus closely on the stresses that trade policymaking is inducing between national and devolved administrations in the UK. Through the themes run genuine interdisciplinarity, the development of innovative methods (including in the economic modelling of trade, especially intra-UK trade), the creation of new data (e.g. on jobs in trade), major stakeholder and public engagement (citizens' juries) to identify what the UK as a whole seeks from trade policy, an Innovation Fund to encourage earlier career researchers to propose new trade research, and a commitment to communication and engagement to achieve impact and ultimately generate change.The CITP builds on the proven research and impact successes of its component Universities - Sussex, Nottingham, Strathclyde, Queens (Belfast), Cardiff, Cambridge, the European University Institute, Berkeley, Tel Aviv and Georgetown (USA). Each partner brings a distinct and complementary element to the CITP, extending its research expertise and its geographical reach and creating new synergies to establish an international centre of excellence for trade policy research.
