This revised, updated and extended second edition of ‘Death of Globalization’ looks at how a multipolar world has developed in a fragmenting trade environment. It looks at how many emerging markets have taken advantage of a lack of Western leadership and a perceived breakdown in the capitalist model to push their own nationalist and geopolitical agendas. Western politicians and business leaders must accept that the age of globalisation is coming to an end and is being replaced by an array of novel and competing political and supply chain hegemonies.
