SUMMARY:Craig VanGrasstek Presents: On Trade War
DESCRIPTION:Craig VanGrasstek Presents: On Trade War\n\nCo-Sponsored by the
  Clayton Yeutter Institute of International Trade and Finance\, University
  of Nebraska–Lincoln\n\nDATE:  Wednesday\, November 18\, 2026\nRegistra
 tion Deadline: Friday\, November 13th\n\nTrade wars carry the fierce urgen
 cy of now\, yet to understand the present predicament we must look beyond 
 one country and the peculiarities of its leader. On Trade War takes an his
 torical and interdisciplinary approach to explain how the world came to th
 is juncture. It distinguishes among great powers by archetype: Commercial 
 great powers such as Athens and England differ from political great powers
  such as Rome or the United States\, and even more so from disengaged grea
 t powers such as Sparta and the Soviet Union. The outbreak of the present 
 trade war can be traced to China's decision half a century ago to switch a
 rchetypes from the disengaged to the commercial great power\; the conduct 
 of that trade war is shaped by a later Chinese decision to switch from a c
 ommercial to a political great power.\n\nDon’t miss this opportunity to 
 gain a deeper understanding of the forces influencing today’s global tra
 de landscape and connect with fellow professionals navigating an increasin
 gly complex international business environment.\n\nSpeaker:\nCraig VanGras
