In our latest episode, AFPC-USA explores why the World Trade Organization is struggling to adapt to a rapidly changing global economy.

Host Roseanne Gerin sits down with Keith Rockwell, Senior Research Fellow at the Hinrich Foundation and former longtime WTO spokesman. Drawing on his latest white paper, Rockwell argues the WTO is at an existential turning point. He explains how core principles like most-favoured-nation treatment and consensus decision-making are increasingly under strain. The conversation examines why incremental reforms may fall short of saving the institution in addition to the rise of alternative trade frameworks outside the WTO.
