The US-China Trade War: Impacts on Global Trade Policies and International Economic Order

Abstract

This thesis examines the impact of the US–China trade war on global trade patterns and economic governance.Based on key data from major international organizations, this study examines the changes in global trade policies and political systems since 2018 under the context of the trade war.In the context of an evolving global trade environment, global trade has become increasingly fragmented and politicized.It also highlights the growing importance of technology and security in shaping trade relations. Overall, the trade war can be seen not just as an economic dispute, but as a turning point toward “strategic globalization.”
