Jens Ladefoged Mortensen teach International Relations and International Political Economy, and does research on the WTO and the external relations of the EU with special focus on the EU as the trade power, including EU’s institutional set-up of the trade policy process and diplomacy; its legal activities in relation to the WTO’s Dispute Settlement System; EU’s use of competitiveness-driven and other trade-protecting policies. In addition he does research on Europe’s bilateral relations and geopolitical strategies in particular to the US, China and many developing countries (including the TTIP negotiations). He has recently been associated to University of Warwick in connection with the EU Framework 7 project Global Re-ordering: Evolution through European Networks (GR:EEN), responsible of the trade component in the sub-work package on Trade and Finance. This project focuses on the political and institutional consequences of the Global Europe trade agreements. He has furthermore taken a research interest in the new IPE, bridging mainstream constructivism with IPE, such as linking the financial crisis to the politics of the housing bubble or the misclassification of trade finance in the Basel process.
Key words: International Political Eocnomy, International trade, EU external relations.
His latest research revolves around the application of new IPE approaches to the study of EU trade politics and related areas such as the geopolitics and competitiveness of the EU, the new EU bilateral trade agreements (TTIP), understandings of power in economic globalization, and the relationship between global trade, development and environmental governance (EGA negotiations).
