Editor s note: This is the final column in a three-part series on China and the WTO. Read the first two columns here and here.
In the first part of this three-part series, we argued that WTO members had high expectations that by admitting China into their midst, its economic system would gradually converge to the liberal economic system, which has been implicit in the GATT and then the WTO agreements.

We are beginning to understand that globalization has strategic consequences. Countries are using their position in globalized networks to “weaponize interdependence”, through their dominance of information and financial networks.
In this talk, Henry Farrell will discuss the research and policy agenda of weaponized interdependence, addressing such questions as:
What areas of the global economy are most vulnerable to unilateral control of information and financial networks?
How sustainable is the use of weaponized interdependence?
What are the possible responses from targeted actors?
How sustainable is the open global economy if weaponized interdependence becomes a default tool for managing international relations?
