Economist Dani Rodrik offers some suggestions for what a progressive trade agenda might look like:
- Embrace globalization
- More and better social insurance (safety nets) and redistribution of gains from trade
- Better international rules to protect domestic values and norms
- Multilateral orientation
- Leave "policy space" for developing countries while establishing broad democracy and human rights principles within the trade regime
- Begin expanding international labor mobility, not just mobility of goods and capital
