Chapter Chapter 8 in Intangible Asset Gap in Global Competitiveness, 2021, pp 77-78 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The most recent challenge of trade does not come from economics, geopolitics or the environment but nature itself. The COVID-19 virus has shown how incredibly vulnerable the economic system has become, relying on “just-in-time”, weak international institutions that do not enforce international rules, like WTO. It lays bare the weakness of these institutions, some only 20 years old. A reform is needed. This makes the creation of options necessary meaning regional trade or even intra country-trade. Just-in-time protocols showed that most “fat” was taken out of supply chains and some redundancy is needed. Calls for de-globalization rises with the prospect of lesser global specialization and thereby growth.
