Abstract

U uvjetima globalizacije, naglašeni su trendovi liberalizacije međunarodne trgovine, kako na multilateralnoj tako i na regionalnoj razini. Međutim, kada govorimo o suvremenim ekonomskim trendovima, sve su snažniji protekcionistički trendovi koji neizbježno utječu na promjene u ciljevima trgovinskih politika pa se mijenjaju i instrumenti kojima se trgovinska politika služi. Isto tako, sve prisutniji je i nastup trendova usporene globalizacije, tzv. slowbalizacija koja dovodi do uvjeta u kojima je i dalje postojan trend globalizacije koja se nastavlja, ali usporenim tempom. Takva usporena globalizacija posljedično dovodi i do nastupa trenda pojačane regionalizacije i stvaranju jačih veza na regionalnoj bazi. Cilj ovog rada je odgovoriti na pitanje na koji način navedeni suvremeni trendovi utječu na promjenu provođenja trgovinskih politika, odnosno na primjetno jačanje protekcionističkih trendova. Poznata je činjenica da su SAD država s jednom od najjačih protekcionističkih politika, a aktualan je trgovinski rat koji se odvija između SAD i Kine zbog kojeg su obje zemlje posegnule za implementiranjem niza protekcionističkih mjera koje uvelike utječu na promjenu njihovih trgovinskih politika. Stoga je za studije slučaja izabran trgovinski rat između Kine i SAD-a kao primjer na kojem će se ilustrirati mjenjanje trgovinske politike pod utjecajem suvremenih trendova. Dat će se uvid u uzroke trgovinskog rata, navesti sve što je njemu prethodovalo te opisati njegov tijek, kao i posljedice koje su nastupile i mogu nastupiti s obzirom na ishod istog.

Abstract (english)

In the context of globalization, the trends of international trade liberalization, both at the multilateral and regional levels, have been emphasized. However, when we talk about contemporary economic trends, there are increasingly strong protectionist trends that inevitably affect changes in trade policy goals, so the instruments used by trade policy are also changing. Also, the appearance of trends of slow globalization, the so-called slowbalization leading to conditions in which there is still a steady trend of globalization continuing, but at a slower pace. Such slow globalization consequently leads to the trend of increased regionalization and the creation of stronger ties on a regional basis. The aim of this paper is to answer the question of how these contemporary trends affect the change in the implementation of trade policies, and the noticeable strengthening of protectionist trends. It is a well-known fact that the United States is a country with one of the strongest protectionist policies, and the current trade war between the United States and China has led both countries to implement a series of protectionist measures that greatly affect changes in their trade policies. Therefore, the trade war between China and the United States was chosen for the case study as an example to illustrate the changing trade policy influenced by contemporary trends. It will provide insight into the causes of the trade war, list everything that preceded it and describe its course, as well as the consequences that have occurred and may occur regarding the outcome of the same.
