ABSTRACT

The current global outbreak of the New Coronavirus, the resurgence of Cold War thinking, the heightened sense of hostility between g nations, the worsening Russian-Ukrainian war, and increased regional integration have led to unprecedented challenges to the economic globalization that has improved the lives of billions of people around the world. Globalization has brought countries closer and more interdependent politically and economically, and the rapid growth of economic globalization has facilitated the emergence of regional organizations such as the North American Free Trade Area (NAFTA) and the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). But it has also set off a wave of discontent with globalization, the rise of populist ideology, the outbreak of pandemics, the US-China trade war, and the Russo-Ukrainian war have all exacerbated the trend towards de-globalization. This paper will examine the impact of globalization in terms of the effects of the spread of pandemics on states and economies and the impact of competition between powerful states on globalization, as well as the question of whether de-globalization is a threat to globalization.
