Trade and investment policy

Trade and investment policy

Since our foundation in 2010, Power Shift has been committed to fair and transparent global trade. We recognize the profound impact that global trade and investment policies have on the structure of our world and strive to change these influences for the better.

Our Commitment to Justice in World Trade

Challenges in trade and investment policy

In many cases, trade deals are negotiated behind closed doors, with the interests of global corporations often placed above those of consumers, smallholders and workers. Such agreements often prioritize increasing exports at the expense of environmental and human rights standards.

Our analyses and information work

With the help of sound studies, we uncover grievances in current trade policy and illustrate how these injustices are exacerbated. Our publications and events serve to empower multipliers from NGOs, trade unions, business, political parties and the media to educate others about the explosiveness of trade agreements and to advocate for fair globalization.

Networking and campaign work

Our work is supported by a broad network in Germany, Europe and worldwide, with which we build a critical public for a fairer trade policy. Together we organize campaigns, which aim to bring about the necessary changes in trade and investment policy.
