By considering the perspectives of marginalized communities, indigenous cultures, and non-Western societies, policymakers can develop more effective strategies for promoting economic stability and social welfare.

Policymakers must engage in dialogue and negotiation with affected countries to reduce trade tensions and promote economic stability. By prioritizing social welfare and environmental protection, policymakers can develop alternative economic models that promote economic stability and social welfare.
