‘BEYOND THE FRAMEWORKS’: Tariffs as foreign policy: What accountability challenges does the Global South face?

In Episode 3 of our Beyond the Frameworks series, guest host Michele Crymes speaks with Andrew Crawford, Research Fellow at the German Institute for Global and Area Studies. Together, they unpack how tariffs are reshaping global supply chains – and what this means for governance, accountability, and civil society across the Global South.

The conversation explores how shifting sourcing patterns create new corruption risks, why small suppliers face growing pressures, and how civil society organizations can use their “ground truth” to build transparency or trigger change within complex global markets.
