Global Trade Shocks and Geopolitical Uncertainty. Implications for Food Security in Emerging Economies
The 11th OEET Workshop will be held on December 11–12, 2025, in Turin, totally in presence or in hybrid form (partly in presence and partly online). The main focus of the Workshop will be on the international structure of cereals’ trade and the complex interdependencies that characterize the global value chains (GVCs), with a particular attention to the position and vulnerabilities of emerging and developing economies.
Both theoretical and empirical contributions are welcomed on issues dealing with (but not limited to):
- The transmission of price and supply shocks through international trade networks.
- The implications of trade network structures for food security and market stability.
- Policy responses to disruptions in global agricultural and food commodity markets.
- The structure and geography of international trade networks in cereals and related products.
- The dependence and integration of emerging economies within global cereal value chains.
Scholars interested in presenting a paper at the Workshop are invited to submit an abstract in English of up to 300 words or, if available, a paper by October 22, 2025 to:
The Workshop is financed by the PRIMA research project “STAPLES - STable food Access and Prices and Lower Exposure to Shocks”, of which OEET-CCA is a partner. The preliminary results of the Work Package 1 (Understanding External Stressors and Shocks), led by CCA, will be presented during the Workshop.
