25 Policy implications Trade opportunities influence development perspective of many developing countries. Substantial risk of retrenching / economic fragmentation (inequality across countries/migration) Historically de-globalization periods have not been good but there are areas where trade opportunities still are strong GVC model to other geographic areas/sector Regional integration (Africa) Services trade Small enterprises (e-commerce) Not only about trade policy or trade costs. Need a new trade and development agenda. 25
