My strengths: (1) translating complex topics into clear insights, (2) rigorous research with practical application, (3) facilitating dialogue for solutions. Are you working in #policy, #sustainability, &/or people – maybe in Zurich? I'd love to hear from you or catch up!

Parallel to this, I've created collaborative spaces for meaningful engagement. From co-founding the Muslim-Jewish #dialogue project "Respect" & #oikos NYC to co-coordinating Swiss #RethinkingEconomics. I find ways to meet people where they are & bring diverse views together.

At CEP, I focused on how #trade policy can support sustainable prosperity - from #GVCs for #EnergyTransition to parliamentary roles in trade #governance. I explored how #TradeAgreements can foster international cooperation & balance economic, social, and environmental goals.

What do you think, should parliaments have a bigger role in negotiating #TradeAgreements, what are important principles for negotiators, #parliaments, and the executive to secure public support for #trade and global #cooperation? 🧵4/4 #FTA #TradePolicy #Geoeconomics #Geopolitics

Parliamentary involvement can both strengthen domestic support for #trade and for #InternationalCooperation. This is becoming even more critical as global #TradeCooperation is shifting and geopolitical considerations are moving up policy agendas. 🔗 https://t.co/lHf246CLIW 🧵3/4

Key principles for parliaments’ involvement in trade policy. They should: • build capacity • define goals of #TradePolicy • accompany #negotiations • ratify #agreements & oversee their #implementation. These are crucial to better align trade with the public interest. 🧵2/4

Trade #policy often sidesteps parliamentary scrutiny. My new analysis examines how strengthening the role of #parliaments can advance more balanced and sustainable #trade. I identified four key principles for this. 🧵/4
In #trade policy, #parliaments generally play a lesser or even inexistent role. This is problematic and needs to change, argues @ojobr. More here: https://t.co/myNIG9gdnG

From opportunities to controversial topics, e.g., #sustainable #SupplyChains & intellectual property rights, the new #TradeAgreement between #India & #EFTA has got it. 📰 my newest post👇(Spoiler: I am calling on #parliaments to approve the agreement.) #econtwitter #trade #IPR
Recently, #India and #EFTA States inked a new #trade agreement. It is an opportunity to support #sustainability in trade yet also contains controversial issues. @ojobr calls on national parliaments to approve it, explore synergies, and remain vigilant. https://t.co/3JGgs6dbrt
