The dollar and the Transition to Sustainable Development: From Key Currency to Multilateralism


Drastic changes in US politics relative to international agreements and to bilateral relationships with China raise a political question about the key currency status of the dollar and a theoretical question in international monetary economics: Can a key currency system be maintained if the issuing country deliberately engages in conflicting protectionist policy? 
This policy brief investigates how the positions of major currencies have been changing in the international monetary system for several years.

While the likes of the UK, Spain and Austria are also preparing GAFA taxes, smaller EU members like Ireland who act as quasi corporate tax havens are resisting any threats to their model. How to break this crucial deadlock?
