The Rodolfo Rivas Project

Season 2 Episode 2 - My guest is Roy Santana, a Counsellor at the Market Access Division at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

Our conversation delves into a variety of other topics, such as how Roy, after studying Economics and Law became interested in International Trade. He traces his path from Costa Rica, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, through NYU and eventually the WTO. Roy is a self-defined “trade nerd” and discusses how dabbling in the history of international trade and negotiations can inform our decisions today.
