Introduction
The modern world has been moving steadily toward globalization for a long time. Borders seemed to disappear, trade grew, and economies became more connected. This era of being linked to each other brought about a lot of good, like boosting economic growth, fostering international cooperation, and improving many people’s lives. Yet, at the beginning of the 21st century, “deglobalization” shook the foundations of “globalization.” As countries became more protectionist and less willing to work together internationally, it messed up global supply lines and caused a complex web of economic, social, and political effects (Bloomberg, 2020). COVID-19 was the worldwide disease that woke people up to the need to stop globalization. Because the virus spread quickly worldwide, countries had to fix problems in global supply lines. Suddenly, weaknesses like relying on a single supplier, having just-in-time inventory systems, and having tight foreign trade networks stood out. The broad effects of the pandemic showed how fragile a world is that is used to ease global trade and linked economies. Since technology can help lessen the effects of deglobalization, it is imperative to analyze how the digitalization of supply lines, 3D printing, and artificial intelligence have become powerful tools for adapting to a world economy that is becoming more fragmented. These tools solve problems and change the future of business by introducing new ways of doing business and making it more robust (Stanojević, 2020). Many companies worldwide have now found ways to deal with the adverse impacts of deglobalization. Diversifying supply chains, helping domestic industries, and rethinking foreign relations are all ways to adapt to a changing economy. As supply chains change, so do employment patterns. This means that jobs are made in some businesses and lost in others. Income inequality and economic disparities are becoming essential problems that need policy solutions to spread the benefits of change. Access to goods and services is also risky since trade barriers can affect the cost of life and people’s choices. As the world is dealing with the effects of deglobalization, analysts are at a crossroads where innovation, resilience, and a willingness to include everyone must lead us to a healthy and fair future.
This essay will analyze many different effects of deglobalization from every angle. Also, the risks that the pandemic put global supply chains at, including the impact of relying too much on a single source and the limits of just-in-time stocking systems, will be examined. Then, the rise of protectionist measures and the fall of international cooperation that led to trade tensions and geopolitics changes will be considered.
