The preventive policies implemented worldwide in response to the current pandemic have been devastating to global trade, leading many countries to rethink their national trade policies. There is a shift towards an anti-globalism paradigm justified by the negative effects of economic interdependencies during the pandemic. This tendency could lead to a permanent damage to the trading system and, therefore, to the global economy. In this podcast, Uri Dadush, Senior Fellow at the Policy Center for the New South and expert in International Trade, contributes to the debate related to the future of international trade.

    Cet article soutient que le Chief Geopolitical Officer (CGO) doit être repensé à partir de l’expérience des entreprises africaines. Dans un environnement multipolaire et fragmenté, leur principal défi n’est pas seulement la gestion des risques, mais la préservation de plusieurs options stratégiques simultanément selon une logique de hedging.
