How Geopolitics Overran Globalization
Globalization, once seen as a force for economic prosperity and stability, has failed to deliver on its promises and has become a source of geopolitical tension. The breakdown of globalization has led to a shift towards fragmentation, with countries prioritizing their own interests over collective prosperity.
Globalization was once seen as a powerful force bringing the world closer together. However, it has failed to deliver on its promises and has become a source of geopolitical tension. The open flow of goods and services has not benefited all countries equally, leading to job losses in advanced economies. Politicians have portrayed globalization as a malignant force, exposing their countries to foreign competition. The dream of integration has given way to a reality of fragmentation.

This shift has led to a world order less restrained by economic integration, increasing the risk of interstate conflict.
