The Weekly Briefing:
How much trouble is globalisation in?

Julian Evans-Pritchard, our Head of China Economics, talks to Steven Altman, Director of the DHL Initiative on Globalization at NYU Stern’s Center for the Future of Management, about what lies ahead for globalisation in an age of economic fracturing. 

The discussion includes the current health of globalisation, the risks of a broad reversal of trade flows and evidence so far of US-China decoupling, as well as how the DHL Global Connectedness Index drew on Capital Economics’ work in classifying the world’s economies by geopolitical alignment.
