We need a human-centred approach to globalisation that does not only benefit the few, but the many. In our latest BKHS Perspectives, Dr. Elisabeth Winter and Tobias Lentzler of the BKHS programme “Global Markets and Social Justice” demand a new trade paradigm for the age of geoeconomic competition. They argue that not economic security, but the concept of human security helps to build a sustainable, equitable and resilient global economic order. The policy brief continues the conversation on “Remaking Globalisation!”, which we started last year with the Helmut Schmidt Lecture 2023 and our BKHS Magazine #3.
