Abstract: The paper deals with the consequences of globalisation and its future trends, considering in particular, on the one hand, rising inter-country imbalances and the recent obstacles to the kind of international division of labour implemented by global value chains (GVC). In fact, ungoverned globalisation can lead not only to internal, but also to external economic imbalances, which raises the need for some kind of international coordination. In the last few years notable oppositions have grown, in particular by China and the United States, with tariff wars and the like that can lead to think of a possible future of de-globalisation. This prospect also derives from the effects of the pandemic that have negatively influenced GVC. The need for re-establishing a tempered liberalism then arises, possibly with an accentuated dose of international sovereignty. The issue arises, however, of how to reconcile the major powers engaged in some sort of policy war. Le conseguenze e il futuro della globalizzazione Il contributo affronta le conseguenze della globalizzazione e le sue tendenze future, considerando in particolare, da un lato, i crescenti squilibri tra paesi e i recenti ostacoli al tipo di divisione internazionale del lavoro attuata dalle catene globali del valore (CGV). Infatti, la globalizzazione non governata può portare a squilibri economici non solo interni, ma anche esterni, il che rende necessaria una qualche forma di coordinamento internazionale. Negli ultimi anni sono cresciute notevoli opposizioni, in particolare da parte fra Cina e Stati Uniti, con guerre tariffarie e simili che possono far pensare a un possibile futuro di de-globalizzazione. Questa prospettiva deriva anche dagli effetti della pandemia che hanno influenzato negativamente le CGV. Nasce allora la necessità di ristabilire un liberismo temperato, possibilmente con una dose accentuata di sovranità internazionale. Si pone, tuttavia, il problema di come conciliare le maggiori potenze impegnate in una sorta di guerra politica.
