The main purpose of the seminar is to examine the evolving role, effectiveness, and broader implications of EU sanctions against Russia in the context of international law, global trade dynamics, and shifting geopolitical conditions, as well as to address key questions such as:

• What are the legal foundations of EU sanctions under EU and international law, and are they compatible with WTO rules?
• Which sectors of international trade have been most affected by EU sanctions on Russia?
• How should their effectiveness be assessed — by economic disruption, military constraint, or political influence?
• How do the United States and the broader geopolitical environment affect the impact and enforcement of EU sanctions?
• How have sanctions reshaped investment and trade flows between the EU, Russia, and third countries such as China, Turkey, or the Gulf states?
• How has Russia responded through import substitution, new markets, and “shadow” trade networks, and how effective are EU enforcement mechanisms?

The COVID-19 pandemic as well as the war in Ukraine have dramatically changed the playing field for competition in the world economy. Resilience to crises has become one of the key drivers of a strong competitive position, and the significance of the sustainable dimension of competitiveness has also grown. The new trends in the world economy determine the aim of the conference, which is to discuss the competitive position of European countries, and Poland in particular, taking into account the foremost components of sustainable competitiveness.

The basis for discussion during the World Economy Research Institute’s 17th Annual Conference are research findings presented in the 2022 Edition of the report Poland Competitiveness Report 2022.

“Economic policy in an unstable environment - dilemmas and challenges: Polish and German perspectives”
October 27, 2022 (Thursday), SGH Warsaw School of Economics

The global and European economy have been operating under increasingly unstable conditions for a considerable period of time. More recently, the growing threat of inflation in times of high debt as well as the war in Ukraine have exacerbated the instabilities. Against this background, the conference will discuss various aspects and challenges of economic policy from Polish and German perspectives. For this we invite representatives from economics, political sciences, and related disciplines as well as practitioners from business and politics to participate in this debate with written and/or oral contributions.
