The 2022 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the competition and connectedness that characterise the current trade landscape.

In this podcast, Rem Korteweg (Senior Research Fellow, Clingendael Institute) is joined by Shannon O’Neil (Vice President, Deputy Director of Studies, and Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies, Council on Foreign Relations) and Vasuki Shastry (Author; Environmental, Social and Governance Advisor; previously Global Head of Public Affairs and Sustainability, Standard Chartered Bank). Listen as they discuss globalisation and its future.

2022 was expected to be the year of the post pandemic recovery. Instead, there have been interest rate hikes across the board, the return of economic nationalism, inflation spiking in many developed economies and supply chain concerns. In discussing the most notable developments of the past year in the world of trade, what do they tell us about the future ahead? Rather than deglobalisation, is global trade being reordered increasingly along regional lines?
