International Trade issues

I need to write a very long paper in this area but am grasping at straws before I've started.
This is just a jumping off point! I just really need ideas/topics/areas that don't lead to dead ends. Or even an interesting angle to whet my appetite. I was really into the idea of the IMF as a regulator of international monetary policy... but turns out to have ended before the turn of the 21st century.
Then I thought, what about the relationship between the liberalization of capital flows and international trade? Turns out there is no clear or productive relationship between the two.
I have done various searchwords + ssrn but alas, it either leads me down a dead end, to a flogged-to-death area or to papers saturated with economic models.
Foreign bonds? Tax havens? Blank spaces?

Best answer: Geographically descriptive trademarks that overlap/conflict with what have become traditional product names. Like Champagne and Tequila.

Best answer: How about an analysis of a trade agreement, like the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA)? That one would be relatively easy because it has already been negotiated, although not yet implemented. You could discuss the issues and their implications for other agreements, like the US's TTIP, that are still under negotiation.
