Foreign Affairs Discussion: The Risks and Costs of Deglobalization

The world is in the midst of a sustained and strong backlash against globalization. While it delivered great prosperity and lifted millions out of poverty, it left many working class people jobless and angry, and led to a wave of nationalism, protectionism, and authoritarianism. Join us to learn about the causes, nature, and scope of the backlash and its implications for worldwide economic growth and political stability.
