It examines how shocks and structural shifts are reconfiguring Global Value Chains (GVCs) through nearshoring and farsharing, and how firms can leverage internationalization to strengthen EU competitiveness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"\u003eThe contributions also explore EU’s crisis-driven trade diplomacy across North America, Latin America, and Africa, highlighting the role of trade agreements in enabling—or constraining—these transformations.

Together, they trace a clear trajectory: from the fragmentation of global trade to the policy responses and technological shifts shaping the future of business. Collectively, these themes define the pillars of Europe’s competitiveness in an age of turbulence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eValentina Meliciani\u003c\/strong\u003e is Full Professor of Applied Economics at LUISS Guido Carli University, where she directs the Luiss Institute for European Analysis and Policy and coordinates the Master in European Economic Governance.
