Impact of COVID, Conflict, and Coercion on Global Economic Policies

The global economic landscape is significantly impacted by COVID, conflict, and coercion. Any attempts to reset economic policies without considering the effects of these three factors would be impractical. Over the past decade, negotiations such as the TPP have overlooked the issue of economic coercion, particularly as a tool used by China. Ignoring these factors could have serious implications for countries involved in economic agreements, especially when dealing with China's coercive tactics in the market.
