International Business Strategies to Cope with Trade Wars

The U.S. President Donald Trump, following his “America First” policy, has imposed tariffs on imports from numerous countries and wants to modify or terminate current trade agreements with other countries, which has created worldwide anti-globalization sentiment. Journal of International Business and Law (JIBL) is calling for student papers for its special issue on International Business Strategies to Cope with Trade Wars.

The topics include but are not limited to:

• Business or corporate strategy to reduce or minimize the impact of the trade wars

• Business or corporate strategy to compete against other countries’ firms in a trade war

The paper should have a student as a leading or sole author.
