FPCI Global Town Hall SeriesThe US and European De-Risking Strategy

Recently, on many occasions, the US President and EU leaders have been talking about a de-risking strategy. A strategy to diversify its economy and put an end to economic dependency. European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen, introduced the term de-risking in March 2023 in describing the EU’s approach in diversifying its supply chain away from China. This de-risking strategy generally covered reducing dependencies, non-tariff measures, diversification of sources, and boosting domestic production.

Disentanglement from China’s established dominance in global supply chains, especially in critical sectors like electronics and raw materials, remains difficult. In 2022, China accounted for 70% of the world’s raw material production. China is among the US and EU’s top 3 biggest trading partners. The translation of “de-risking” itself still varied. While the EU is mainly motivated by the potential disruption in the European economy due to overdependence, the US finds itself having a more hawkish interaction with China.

Against this background, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia is back with a Global Town Hall Series on “The US and European De-risking Strategy” to delve into the different perspectives between the Global North and Global South countries

Balancing Interest: A North-South Dialogue on Trade Protectionism

Trade protectionism, a policy adopted by nations to safeguard their domestic industries from foreign competition, has long been a contentious issue in the realm of international economics. The rationale behind protectionism often centers on protecting emerging industries, preserving jobs, and maintaining national security. However, these measures can also lead to trade wars, inefficiencies, and higher costs for consumers. As countries navigate the complexities of globalization, the debate over the merits and drawbacks of protectionism versus free trade continues to shape economic policies and international relations. In recent years, trade protectionism has resurged as a significant factor influencing global markets. Major economies, including the United States and China, have engaged in tit-for-tat tariff escalations, profoundly impacting global supply chains and economic stability. As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, understanding the dynamics of trade protectionism and its implications for international cooperation, economic growth, and global trade norms is more crucial than ever. Against this background, Foreign Policy Community of Indonesia brought back a Global Town Hall Series on “Balancing Interest: A North-South Dialogue on Trade Protectionism” to delve into the different perspectives between the Global North and Global South countries.
