A Bibliometric Analysis of the Relationship between the Green Deal and Foreign Trade Performance

Abstract

Sustainability and many disciplines prefixed with green have been among the most frequently discussed topics in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. Green transformation, green logistics, green agreement, sustainable businesses, and sustainable and green economies are examples. This study examined the effects of the green agreement on foreign trade performance and conducted a bibliometric analysis on this topic. Scopus was used as the database for the research. Differences and similarities compared to the previously discussed Web of Science database were also revealed. Both the Web of Science-based and the Scopus-based bibliometric analyses share a key finding: that future development will shift its focus and necessitate policies on foreign trade performance to align with sustainability goals. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations were presented for academia, the public sector, and the real sector.
