Abstract

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked the perception that globalization had reached its limits, and a new era of deglobalization had begun. This perception was fueled, in a large part, by the disruption of global supply chains.

The outbreak of war in Ukraine in February 2022, coupled with the introduction of Western economic sanctions against the aggressor, Russia, reinforced the notion of globalization’s “death.” Today, the study of challenges associated with the deglobalization process has become increasingly relevant.
