As a consequence, the global economy underperforms. Below, Marcos Troyjo argues that Reglobalisation can only resurface if countries move away from ‘Local-Contentism’ and closer to a productive interdependence turning out ‘Made in the World’ goods.

Globalisation is characterised by long-run historical cycles, however. This includes a significant progress up to 1914; a massive retrenchment in the interwar period; a substantial revival after 1945; and, with the onset of the global  financial crisis of 2007-09, some have openly discussed risks of “de-globalisation” (e.g. Van Bergeijk, 2010).

Economic Diplomacy in a Changing World by Maxime Verhagen and Henk Bleker in HJD

To solve this issue, we see an increasing role for economic diplomacy. Domestic policy influences the economies of trading partners, which should remind us that all countries are in this together and therefore need to work jointly to find a solution in the G20, International Monetary Fund (IMF), EU or any other multilateral framework that offers the opportunity to ensure strong, balanced and sustainable growth. 20 20.

Revenge of the mainstream? Veronica Rappoport in the Journal of Economic Literature

Veronica Rappoport of Columbia University published a 2+ page review in the  Journal of Economic Literature.
