In this episode, Ranja Sengupta (Third World Network) unpacks how trade rules from GATT to the WTO to today’s bilateral agreements have been designed to favour the powerful. She exposes how negotiations are rigged, tariffs are undermined, and new trade agendas threaten development policy in the Global South.

Listen in as Ranja Sengupta calls for a united Global South to resist unfair trade norms and protect policy space for farmers, workers, and communities.
