We may have reached a stage where economic interactions have become so internationalised that further increases in globalisation cannot deliver greater prospects of peace. But the logic of the capitalist peace still holds water; the intricate nature of the economic interdependence between advanced market economies almost entirely rules out war, but other hostile attitudes can still persist, and even grow.  - Mansoob Murshed on deglobalization and the liberal peace

A remarkable ‘big switch’  has emerged from the turn of the millennium in terms of attitudes towards and discourses over globalisation. But while the world is currently witnessing a new backlash against economic globalisation, considerable support for globalisation within some parts of the Global South should not be overlooked.:  https://issblog.nl/2018/03/20/deglobalisation-series-is-anti-globalisation-only-a-preoccupation-in-the-global-north-by-rory-horner-seth-schindler-daniel-haberly-and-yuko-aoyama/

A new blog series on deglobalisation with Peter van Bergeijk as gueast editor is appearing at BLISS

Google scholar hits date accessed March 16 2018 A discussion between webeditors about the proper spelling of the word deglobalization or deglobalisation stimulated some research that reveals that spelling matters and that an internet search should recognize this. On the brink was incidentally launched at the top of the deglobalization wave

Economic and Policy Uncertainty: Export Dynamics and the Value of Agreements Jeronimo Carballo ,  Kyle Handley ,  Nuno Limão NBER Working Paper No. 24368 Issued in March 2018, Revised in March 2018 NBER Program(s): International Trade and Investment   We examine the interaction of economic and policy uncertainty in a dynamic, heterogeneous firms model. Uncertainty about foreign income, trade protection and their interaction dampens export investment. This can be mitigated by trade agreements, which are particularly valuable in periods of increased demand volatility. We use firm data to establish new facts about U.S. export dynamics in 2003-2011 and estimate the model. We find a significant role for uncertainty in explaining the trade collapse in the 2008 crisis and partial recovery in its aftermath. Consistent with the model predictions, we find that the negative effects worked (1) through the extensive margin, (2) in destinations without preferential agreements wi...

Finbarr Livesey argues that  he interpretation of the global economy has been framed as an inevitable journey towards ever greater integration—a story of hyper-globalisation. This article discusses the nature of manufacturing to understand whether this interpretation holds and to investigate the possibility of deglobalisation at the level of physical goods trade in the coming decades, and what that may imply for other non-physical elements of globalisation.

This article provides an empirical analysis of the disruption of (neo)classical/liberal globalisation during the Great Depression and the Great Recession, identifying challenges to existing knowledges and approaches, in particular the mainstream analysis that studied the Great Recession in isolation, treating it as a special case and ignoring political covariates of deglobalisation processes. The econometric analysis (an unbalanced panel of 31 countries in the 1928–1932 and 128 countries in 2008–2012) does not find an impact from the level of development on deglobalisation. The manufacturing import share is significantly associated with stronger deglobalisation (this effect is stronger in the 1930s than in the 2000s). The political system is highly significant in both 1930s and 2000s, but the sign of its impact is opposite. In the 1930s, autocratic rule and dictatorship are associated with stronger deglobalisation; in the 2000s, democracy is associated with stronger deglobali...
