Season 5 Episode 05 – Hosuk Lee-Makiyama, Director of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) in Brussels.

Hosuk is a leading author on trade diplomacy, EU-Far East relations, and the digital economy.

I enjoyed catching up with him during his recent visit to Geneva. I have known him for a while, and we’ve talked and exchanged messages, but this was the first time I met him, and it was an excellent opportunity to learn more about him and his thoughts on various topics.

He knows plenty about diplomacy, International relations, and trade, amongst many other things.

During our conversation, we cover his superhero origin story, how trade diplomacy has evolved, and some of the challenges ahead.

I was thrilled to get a chance to talk to him and have it on record. You are welcome back anytime, Hosuk!

Before even uploading this, many asked when this would be available because he is kind of a celebrity. Well, it is out now!

I hope you enjoy our conversation.

2024 Global Tech Policy Wrap-Up

The real growth area for trade is in digitally-delivered services. But where there is trade, there is trade regulation. If countries regulate in ways which diverge from each other, then there are digital borders. This podcast discusses how a more streamlined and efficient digital trade environment could be created, why different countries have different regulations, and the prospects of a digital trade deal between the UK and US.

Joining our presenter, Chris Horseman are: 
•	Javier Ruiz Diaz, a freelance digital policy consultant
•	Anupam Chander, the Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law and Technology at Georgetown University in Washington D.C.
•	Lorna Woods, Professor of Internet Law at the University of Essex

A UK-US digital trade deal?
