The Asian Yearbook of International Economic Law (AYIEL) 2024 addresses the rapidly evolving field of international economic law with a special focus on Asia and the Pacific. With the rapidly changing geopolitical situation, protectionist measures have been taken by many countries, which has caused significant impact on international economic governance. Given the importance of Asia and the Pacific, it is necessary to study on trade protectionism and its impacts especially from a regional perspective. The AYIEL 2024 therefore focuses on “Protectionism and International Economic Law”, exploring the recent trade measures taken by leading economies amid the changing geopolitical and geoeconomic situation, as well as the potential impacts of these changes on Asian countries and beyond.
