This infographic gives a summary of the 2018 Trade Wars. This simple overview is suitable for those without a strong political or economic background. The infographic explains briefly basic concepts related to trade and provides a short timeline of events. Furthermore, it checks the arguments by the Trump administration to launch the trade war in spite of facts and estimates of how the 2018 trade war can affect the global and North-American economy.

Comment from our editors:

It covers the basic concepts of tariffs and protectionism vs free trade in an attempt to display the motivations behind and impact of real-world economics and international trade policies. To get more context on free trade in economic theories, which is only vaguely covered in this infographic, we highly recommend reading this foundational text on free trade.

Taxation in the MENA region
This essay focuses on the sources of government revenue within the Middle East and North African (MENA) region and proposes the implementation of a regional tax reset through increased taxation and tax reforms, deregulation in the private sector and economic diversification to reduce macroeconomic volatilities caused by the hydrocarbon industry.

Digitale Plattformen - Keine Alternative zu Amazon, Google und Co?
Alle Macht den Plattformen? Immer mehr Marktmacht konzentriert sich in den Händen einiger Internet-Giganten. Was bedeutet das für ökonomischen Strukturen der digitalen Welt, und ist somit auch das Potenzial von Plattformen, die Wirtschaft nachhaltiger und partizipativer zu gestalten, an seine Grenzen gekommen?

The Unexpected Reckoning: Coronavirus and Capitalism
It is perhaps fitting that the seriousness of the coronavirus threat hit most of the Western world around the Ides of March, the traditional day of reckoning of outstanding debts in Ancient Rome. After all, problems and imbalances have accumulated in the Western capitalist system over four decades, ostensibly since it took the neoliberal road out of the 1970s crisis and kept going along it, heedless of the crises and problems it led to.

Feminist Inroads in Epistemology, Method, and Theory
For many social critics "globalization" is a signpost of “late-capitalism” with the rise of multinational corporations, mass consumption and the multidirectional flows of capital, labor, media, communication, ideologies and social movements across national borders. Feminist analyses of globalization and the gendered and sexualized permutations of these phenomena offer a critical stance for theorizing these processes, and for studying their complex articulations across time and space.
