The trend towards de-globalization
04/07/2021 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM in Wien (Österreich)
Putting the brakes on international development?
Growing public discontent with globalization has led to increased nationalist and protectionist policies in economies around the globe. These policies affect how companies operate internationally, especially with regard to their global value chains, resulting in important implications for international development. In this panel, experts discuss the potential effects of a slower globalization or de-globalization on the economic development of emerging and developing countries.
