- process are fragmented across countries. CEPR has established the Research Network on Global Value Chains, Trade and Development, with the goal of stimulating research on the important and timely questions raised be the emergence of global value chains. This research network, led by Paola Conconi (ULB and CEPR) will gather together economists working on international production from theoretical, empirical and policy angles. CEPR is collaborating closely on this initiative with the World Bank, which has also identified as a key priority to help developing countries to connect to, and develop through global value chains. CEPR and the World Bank have join forces to foster debate and collaborations in this area among researchers in both academic and policy institutions. The World Bank's GVC page can be found here. Europe is an optimal ground for this network, given that many scholars working in this area are based in Europe and that some of the most important datasets on GVCs are developed and maintained here. The core supporters of the network are the World Bank, CEPR, the Graduate Institute’s Centre for Trade and Economic Integration (CTEI) and other government agencies. The network meets twice a year for research and policy outreach seminars and liaises with the Trade Policy Research Network when suitable.

- oduction by Yu Ping, Vice Chair and Sherpa of B20 China 300 business representatives of the G20 countries met last 17 April at the headquarters of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington DC. This meeting, coinciding with the annual Spring Meetings of the IMF and the World Bank, was the first B20 China Joint Taskforce Meeting. ChinaEU is honored to be a member of B20, which stands for the business representation in the G20 meeting preparatory process. The B20 group discusses policy recommendations for the world economic governance that will be submitted to the heads of state of the G20 countries when they meet in in Hangzhou, China, on 4–5 September 2016. Several strategic recommendations are being considered, among which stands the proposal of setting up an Electronic World Trade Platform (e-WTP). The most notable recommendation discussed in the SME Development Taskforce is the proposal to set up an eWTP. Jack Ma at Boao Forum in March 2016 (Source: XinHua News Agency) The idea of an eWTP (Electronic World Trade Platform) was originally launched by Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group and also Chair of the SME Development Taskforce, at Boao Forum (to read Ma Yun’s full speech in Chinese, please click here) in March this year. The platform will facilitate SMEs’ development and integrate public-private dialogue on e-commerce trading modes. The key goal of eWTP is to promote ‘inclusive’ trade. Inclusive trade refers to reducing the threshold effect, faced by SMEs to participate in cross-border e-trade. The WTP will provide SMEs a transparent and open platform to sell their goods and services globally. Keynote speech by Zhu Min, Deputy Director of IMF The Washington B20 session opened with a positive note from the IMF, who showed strong confidence in China’s economic growth. Deputy Managing Director Zhu Min admitted that the world economy is facing downgrade with a growth rate at 3.2%, a decrease of two percentage points compared to the IMF’s previous forecast. Government debt has especially become a serious issue, increasing by 42% in two years to reach 106%. Despite the global economic challenges, China’s growth rate was instead upgraded from 6.3% to 6.5%, showing signs of stabilization and recovery, according to both Zhu and Ma Jun, Chief Economist of People’s Bank of China. Keynote speech by Ma Jun, Chief Economist of the People’s Bank of China Business leaders and economists commented on the role of B20 and G20 in restructuring the global economy. A few words were spent also on the leadership of China, which this September will chair the G20 meeting in Hangzhou, headquarters of e-commerce giant Alibaba. Frank Ning, Chair of Trade & Investment Taskforce and Chairman of Sinochem, proposed that G20 can play a bigger role in rebalancing world economy by bringing more real exchange of goods, accelerating technology and innovation, as well as giving more value to manufacturers, instead of focusing too much on finance. Dimitris Tsitsigaros, Vice President of IFC, Global Client Services believed that G20 should also play a role in promoting regional integration, reducing protectionism, improving access to global value chain and upgrading the global financial infrastructure. As Ren Hongbin, Chair of Infrastructure Taskforce and Chairman of China National Machinery Industry Corporation, pointed out that, to mitigate current economic challenges, reform in infrastructure is key, which is also one of the few areas identified by IMF reports as having potential to deliver strong productive gains across all kinds of countries. Green investment and financial inclusion involving private sector players were among the hottest issues discussed. China is believed to make a successful leader of B20 as well as G20 to deliver favorable results in addressing global challenges, given its infrastructure-oriented One Belt One Road Initiative and the profound structural reform undergoing in the country. The B20 has set up five taskforces, namely Financing Growth, Trade & Investment, Infrastructure, SME Development and Employment, to brainstorm on the most appropriate policy recommendations to make to the G20 government leaders. The taskforces met close-door to agree on the scope and drafting of these key business recommendations. The most notable recommendation discussed in the SME Development Taskforce is the proposal to set up an eWTP. Jack Ma at Boao Forum in March 2016 (Source: XinHua News Agency) The idea of an eWTP (Electronic World Trade Platform) was originally launched by Jack Ma, Executive Chairman of Alibaba Group and also Chair of the SME Development Taskforce, at Boao Forum (to read Ma Yun’s full speech in Chinese, please click here) in March this year.

ChinaDaily 6 September Columnist Peter Furman writes: AliBaba shows how tech can boost inclusivity. Its been 740 years since Hangzhou reigned as the world’s most important city. Hangzhou was then the capital of the world’s wealthiest and most developed nation : China during the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279). This week Hangzhou has again been the center of the world’s attention thanks to the G20 summit. The world’s spotlight falls on Hangzhou’s most famous historical landmark the West Lake , as well as its most famous local company AliBaba, the world’s largest ecommerce company. AliBaba’s founder and chairman Jack Ma is a Hangzhou native. He has boasted that “Hangzhou has become the driving force of China’s new economy” and as the city’s chief volunteer tourist guide since his 11th birthday, Ma joyfully recommends G20 visitors rise at 5 am to walk around the West Lake AliBaba has changed Hangzhou and changed China. But to grasp the full extent of that change, world leaders should venture out from Hangzhou and visit some of China’s smallest, poorest and most remote rural villages. Here AliBaba’s impact is the most transformational. AliBaba has made a special effort to bring the benefits and convenience of online trading to China’s rural families – the 45% of China’s population that still live on the land. Its impossible to overstate the importance of this effort. Ecommerce now offers the fastest and most durable way to improve living standards in China’s countryside. By getting online, farmers can shop more widely and buy more cheaply a vast range of products never before available in rural China. In addition, they can sell directly their farm products, both fresh and packaged, to tens of millions of customers living in cities across China. Alibaba is paying for tens of thousands of “Village Taobao” centres across China. Here, farmers can get free help to buy and sell online. Nowhere else on the planet is ecommerce being as successfully introduced into the lives of small village farmers. The world should take note, and China should take pride. As world leaders discuss trade, fostering innovation, and eradicating poverty, we should all wish them well. Meanwhile AliBaba is busy putting such talk into action. Its efforts provide concrete proof of how tech innovation can be inclusive and helpful to all of society. …

- elected representatives of trade unions from G20 countries, representing the voice of workers. General Secretaries and Presidents of trade unions are charged with a responsibility to uphold the interests of working people. For many years the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Trade Union Advisory Committee (TUAC) to the OCED have brought together labour leaders at G8 and G20 summits. Together those labour leaders have represented the interests of working people in discussions with world leaders at such events. For the first time, with the support of the G20 host government in 2011, labour leaders have moved to the centre stage of theG20 in Cannes. The French Presidency of the G20 has put great importance on social dialogue recognising the role of trade unions. As the global economy faces a jobs and growth emergency, the G20 is faced with many challenges. Challenges that for many people are a daily reality, as they struggle to find work, send their children to school and keep a roof over their heads. For L20 leaders, employment needs to be at the centre of recovery action plans, requiring G20 governments to prioritise raising demand and restoring growth. In addition, development and financial regulation are issues the G20 needs to prioritise. The proposals for recovery plans from the L20 will be delivered to Heads of State and Government and must be taken into account in the final G20 conclusions.

Crossroads Beirut: N & W to Europe, South and West to Africa- East along latitude 30 all across Asia to China : The Silk Road. Those places in Europe and Africa sharing med sea coastal belt could sail to and from Beirut . Few people explored the whole silk road like Marco Polo's 7 year trek, Rather it was a really hundreds of neighbors who kept traders safe and valued diversity of being connecfion of the world's market ( places didnt do that would be diverted round). Apart from gold, the main currencies came from China in form of spices and silks. Both light enough to transport- and the further they traded from their source of origin the more their rarity value appreciated Then around 1500 came the discovery of two new mercantile navigation routes: west of Europe to the new world of the Americas and around Africa to the southern coastal belt of Asia , processes of colonization started. Unknowingly as well as knowingly the empire mindset dictated what it wanted to trade, when trade is all take with no regard to how the other side needs tio develop the result is the colonised economy become smaller and smaller. Those who had immigrated to USA ended this outcome with their declartaion of independence, but colonization of the old world by Euripe of Africa and Asia continued. Notably the British were the dominant colonisers of places facing that south Asian coastal belt. The whole of the Indian subcomtient – the largest population in the world was colonised. Their share of world market went down from over 20% to about 5%. By 1860 the English had got to China. Whilst not attempting to colonise China, the English proposed to pay for the highly desired speoices and silks with Opium. Soon the consequence was that China closed its borders to world trade for more than a century. Its share of production also plummeted from being close to its populations share of about 20% to something less than 10%. After 2 world wars it was clear that both the European pattern of big get bigger nation even if this means war or colonization needed to stop. Going post-colonial in a way that developed all the peoples entrepreneurial freedoms also not proved simple for many reasons - heritage of top-down rule, low tax base, many countries inheriting boundaries which may have been convenient for the empire in controling peoples with different cultures but were the borders don't make natural or trading sense (eg landlocked nations) All of this adds to the mapping that now needs to be made transparent if worldwide youth and livelihoods are to emerge as the sustainability generation in which every community thrives From the viewpoint of 1946, the big lesson from world war 1 had been don’t punish the peoples of a losing nation by forfeiture of land.

- sustainability generation We also use 13 mapping codes so that you can view market redesign as a function of places you connect with most There is a time dynamic too. up to 1995 most markets were pre-digital in design- from 1996 some regions started urgent experiments in digital design A lot of the conflicts of today's era of racing to borderless sustainability are rooted in future's history- so where relevant we note 12 different time codes in 7 year periods ranging from 1946-53 through to 2023-30. Our hypothesis is that ours species has doubled its investment i mobilising connectivity (eg computing, communications, infrastruture) technologies every 7 years since 1946. That will be over 4000 time more 2030 versus 1946. That timeline framing was started by my father in The Economist at the time of moon landing. He called this entrepreneurial revolution and argued that organisations constitutions and professions would need to adapt ahead of time if they were to help peoples and community achieve sustainability all over the world. THE FORREST GUMP OF GLOBALIZATION MEDIA My father famous for paradoxically being an optimistic rationalist also had a habit of making annual surveys where he visited a country on the other side of the world and asked how could everyone help these peoples join in win-win trade. The rest of the time he sat in the same London office fir 40 years sub-editing The Economist around his keynsian inspired speciality ending poverty. Friday lunchtime was institutionalised in London's Sain James as a time when any leadre could drop in on off the record debate of what conflicts to try to reconcile next around the globe. Father had served as a teenager navigating ariplanes in world war 2 over mkidernday bangaldesh. It was his belief thatthe root cause iof teh woreld wars was over 400 yeras of colinsation which had imposed trades in such a ays that most natiosn economies had been decimated while the empirikng nations grew bigger and bigger. Thus father took the opportunity to celebatrate every chnane in world trade towards win-wins. Notably the british mercantile impact on the whole of the south and east Eurasia coasts reduced the economies of the world's largest population idnia and china (each about one fifth of humanity) from being proportionate to population size in 1500 to being minor in terms of gdp in 1946. Norman would therefore have fully supported debates as to how could silk raids and other win-win trading routes happily reconnect peoples across continentwide railRoads and via coastal belt's superports. In fact his 1977 survey of China optimistically records that china is coming out to the world to marje again (after 110 years of closing itslkf rather than accepting the british insistence that opium be used as a currency to trade with china's silks and spices). By now sustainability would depend on how all world wide youth friends chinese youth according to Norman's 1977 viewing. 14%20surveys%20on%20global%20peoples.pptx download this file to one click through to every survey IN our guide we see finance and education best reported in these terms which we revisit in several chapters throughout the book Communities now need everyone to be free to be a banker, a skills learner and a skill coach at diferent stages of life.…

Second.—Articles relating more especially to some practical, commercial, agricultural, or foreign topic of passing interest; of the state of the revenue, foreign treaties, &c. Third.—An article on the elementary principles of political economy, applied in a familiar and popular manner to practical experience; especially in relation to the laws of price—wages—rent—exchange—revenue—taxes—and the relation between producers and consumers abroad and at home; proved and illustrated by the experience of this and other countries. Fourth.—PARLIAMENTARY REPORTS: Giving at greater length all discussions peculiarly interesting to commerce and agriculture, and especially involving the principles of Free Trade. Fifth.—POPULAR MOVEMENTS: A report and account of all popular movements throughout the country in favour of Free Trade. Sixth.—GENERAL NEWS: A summary of all the news of the week,—the Court—the Metropolis—the Provinces; Scotland and Ireland. Seventh.—COMMERCIAL: Under this head a careful and elaborate account will be given of the trade of the week; with special notices of changes in fiscal regulations; state and prospects of the markets, especially indicating the progress of stocks and consumption; of imports and exports; latest Foreign News, likely to influence future supply; the state of the manufacturing districts; notices of important new mechanical improvements; shipping news; an account of the money market, and of the progress of railways and public companies. Eighth.—AGRICULTURAL: Under this head we will give frequent articles on improvements in agriculture; on the application of geology and chemistry; on new and improved implements; and in every way, to the utmost of our power, assist that true and independent spirit which is everywhere rising among the best landlords and farmers, to rely on the only safe support agriculture can have—intelligence, ingenuity, and perseverance, instead of deceptive protection. We will give a general detail of incidents, state of crops, markets, prices, foreign markets and prices converted into English money; and we have made an arrangement to communicate, from time to time, in some detail, the plans pursued in Belgium, Switzerland, and other well-cultivated countries. Ninth.—COLONIAL AND FOREIGN: In which we will furnish the earliest information respecting the trade, produce, political and fiscal changes, and other matter interesting; and, particularly, we will endeavour to expose the evils of restriction and protection, and the advantages of free intercourse and trade. Tenth.—LAW REPORTS: These we will confine chiefly to such as are particularly important to commerce, manufactures, and agriculture. Eleventh.—NOTICE OF BOOKS: Confined chiefly, but not so exclusively, to such as treat of the foregoing subjects; including all treatises on political economy, finance, or taxation. Twelfth.—COMMERCIAL GAZETTE: Price currents and statistics of the week. Thirteenth.—CORRESPONDENCE, INQUIRIES, &c.: Under this head we especially invite every one to apply for information on all the topics herein enumerated, which we do not furnish, or which is not given in such details as may be required. We have made an arrangement by which inquiries shall be replied to in the next number, if received by Thursday morning, on all subjects enumerated in this prospectus:—POLITICAL ECONOMY AND COMMERCE; FOREIGN COMMERCIAL REGULATIONS; TARIFFS, RATES OF DUTIES, AND PORT REGULATIONS; EXISTING COMMERCIAL TREATIES; POINTS OF COMMERCIAL LAW; GENERAL STATISTICS, connected with our trade for the last twenty years, or earlier, when they exist; AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS AND IMPROVEMENTS; and on other practical and economical subjects required. EXTRA MONTHLY STATISTICAL AND PARLIAMENTARY PAPER NUMBER:—In each month we will publish an extra number, devoted exclusively to statistics, and the preservation of the statistical parts of documents laid before parliament; many of which, of great value, never at present reach the public eye, or at least in a very limited way. There can be no question that, whether we speak of the economist, the legislator, the merchant, or the trader, statistics must form the most important ground-work of the whole of his reasonings, opinions, and actions; they are, in short, the fundamental facts on which all his opinions and actions must be based to be true; it is difficult to estimate their importance. At the same time we must remark, that however powerful and useful they may be as an instrument, they cannot be used with safety without considerable knowledge of the peculiar subjects, and without the exercise of great discretion in drawing results. This we will endeavour to aid by explanatory notes and observations in the collection and arrangement. Our plan is,—to divide this monthly number into two parts, one for permanent statistics, in which we will commence and collect together in alphabetical order the statistics of our revenue and trade, including exports and imports, navigation, agriculture, and currency for the last twenty years:—the trade with our colonies, and of our colonies with each other, and with this country:—and various interesting statistical statements which we can get relating to the same subjects in foreign countries: the other part we will apply to the statistics of the day: the comparison of our trade, imports, exports, consumption, stocks, &c., of all the leading articles of commerce, between the current year and the corresponding period of the preceding year: and other matters useful and interesting to the material interests of the country. And at the end of each year, we will furnish a title-page and general index to the whole paper, including the statistical numbers, so that the whole may form a useful volume of reference to the economist, the politician, the merchant, and manufacturer, the agriculturalist, and the general reader. We have made such arrangements and under such superintendence, as will secure the accomplishment of all that we propose, in a way which we trust will render our objects and exertions useful to the country: we have no party or class interests or motives; we are of no class, or rather of every class: we are of the landowning class: we are of the commercial class interested in our colonies, in our foreign trade, and in our manufactures: but our opinions are that not one part of these can have any lasting and true success that is not associated and co-existing with the prosperity of all. And lastly—if we required higher motives than bare utility, to induce that zeal, labour, and perseverance against all the difficulties which we shall have to encounter in this work—we have them. If we look abroad, we see within the range of our commercial intercourse whole islands and continents, on which the light of civilization has scarce yet dawned; and we seriously believe that FREE TRADE, free intercourse, will do more than any other visible agent to extend civilization and morality throughout the world—yes, to extinguish slavery itself. Then, if we look around us at home, we see ignorance, depravity, immorality, irreligion, abounding to an extent disgraceful to a civilized country; and we feel assured that there is little chance of successfully treating this great national disease while want and pauperism so much abound: we can little hope to improve the mental and moral condition of a people while their physical state is so deplorable:—personal experience has shown us in the manufacturing districts that the people want no acts of parliament to coerce education or induce moral improvement when they are in physical comfort—and that, when men are depressed with want and hunger, and agonized by the sufferings of helpless and starving children, no acts of parliament are of the slightest avail. We look far beyond the power of acts of parliament, or even of the efforts of the philanthropist or the charitable, however praiseworthy, to effect a cure for this great national leprosy; we look mainly to an improvement in the condition of the people. And we hope to see the day when it will be as difficult to understand how an act of parliament could have been made to restrict the food and employment of the people, as it is now to conceive how the mild, inoffensive spirit of Christianity could ever have been conceived into the plea of persecution and martyrdom, or how poor old wrinkled women, with a little eccentricity, were burned by our forefathers for witchcraft.…
