FOTAR 2022 | Aftermovie | The Future of Transatlantic Relations by BKHS & EKH

Last year, the FOTAR conference (Future of Transatlantic Relations) focussed on how the transatlantic trade partnership can contribute to the socio-economic transformation of the global economic system. We approached this complex issue from various points of view, focusing on the linkages between trade and human rights, social inequality, technology, climate change and the role of cities: Because trade has always been a cornerstone of the transatlantic partnership!
But amid a multitude of global crises, classical liberal paradigms are questioned, demanding a stronger role of the state. Transatlantic partners can play a crucial role in driving change for a more inclusive form of globalisation. That can increase our efforts to reduce social inequality, strengthen technological progress for good, and foster our engagement to tackle climate change when engaging in multinational dialogues on a level playing field and finding new ways to implementing human rights-based approaches in international trade relations.
FOTAR is our conference format devised and run with the Europa-Kolleg Hamburg and supported by generous funding from Hamburg's Ministry for Science, Research, Equality and Districts. It brings together decision-makers, academics, civil society and business representatives from the US and Europe to debate current trends and future scenarios of the transatlantic partnership.
