Description
Distribution of the publication "Adapting to the digital trade era: challenges and opportunities" to the authors and academic network.

Through a variety of case studies, the book illustrates how countries in different regions view the opportunities and challenges of digital technologies and how policy makers are responding to them.

The publication, entitled “Adapting to the digital trade era: challenges and opportunities”, considers how technological advancement such as the growth of e-commerce and the development of blockchain technology may contribute to inclusive growth. It also looks into what needs to be done at the domestic and regional level to take full advantage of the opportunities offered in the new digital trade era.

The publication is an important result of the second phase of the WTO Chairs Programme, which was funded by the governments of the Netherlands and France.
