Post-American Order ≠ Deglobalisation
So, how is the deglobalisation take doing this morning?

Basically - globalisation is winning. Easily.
Maybe we can now move our economic thinking to 2025?

Oh good, the FT has @inumanak.bsky.social trying to balance out the nonsense about a new US led trading order. Or indeed deglobalisation. Or the many other fashionable arguments about trade that aren't in fact happening.
on.ft.com/45z2tcZ No, Trump is not ushering in a new global trading order

Sorry, not going to be forgetting the prophets of deglobalisation any time soon. Like, how? Take all our phones away?

Important - in a global order in which international rules are losing importance, one part of the emerging replacement is this neo-royalist approach involving interlinked states and companies. Once again, put away the deglobalisation simplisms.
1/This week has seen a blitz of what looks like corruption sandals: Saudi development deals for US military tech, Pakistani payments to Trump insiders for tariff relief, Swiss gold bars for a trade deal. Far from a payoff, this is a reordering of internat'l system.

This is where bring back manufacturing / deglobalisation talk can lead. A dangerous path but one with enduring allure on both left and right.
And no, "growth" isn't necessarily the answer. We actually need better politics. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Brexit of course the deglobalisation / reindustrialisation story in miniature. Undeliverable promises from sections of both left and right, before the world turns out not to be the one of their imaginations.
No sign we're learning, though.

In fact "if you think globalisation was bad wait till you see what deglobalisation is like. In fact we got a taste of it with Brexit, didn't we, and that's been a sh1tshow. So we're not turning inward"* would be a far more cheerful message for business to hear.

Forget the deglobalisation narrative, this is the era of shaping globalisation. And there are many competing and overlapping versions of that, including the political (populist right the most evident), economic, old alliances, major powers etc.

Hoping to flesh out the real modern trade trends a bit further next week.
Clue: won't include deglobalisation. Or the world never being the same again.

There's no realistic alternative being proposed by Trump or any others supposedly in the deglobalisation camp (plenty in the UK as well). It is all simplistic cod-1950s economic thinking, if we import less we'll build more. Hasn't worked like that for 40 years.

Deglobalisation, a myth to go alongside the imminent break up of the EU. On past evidence won't stop them being written about, as opposed to the question of what will happen to the future economy.

Suppose the inane claims of "deglobalisation" obscured for some time the more challenging reality of balancing national economies with global markets and companies at times of modest if any growth.

The global trend is not deglobalisation - large multinationals are doing fine thanks - but the systemic squeezing of competition and competitiveness via measures which sometimes but not always inadvertently are hugely raising the costs of doing business.

Giving this a second push for the day. On why deglobalisation mostly exists as unrealistic politics rather than economic reality, and the trouble that brings when promises aren't delivered.
Tariffs, deglobalisation, and bringing back factory jobs are central to today's trade debate.
Wrongly in an age of supply chains and economic security. We need a better political debate that isn't just technocratic. Otherwise expect more bad populist answers.

Finding an Alternative to Populist Trade Policies
Even before the chaos of Trump’s second term, bringing back factory jobs and talking about tariffs were the predominant trade policy discussions in many countries. While these clearly have some sign

What is security though when a combination of globalisation and atomisation has led to an easily manipulated public short of reliable local or national information?
One of the very worst narratives is deglobalisation. The reality is the very opposite.

We are in an era of deglobalisation and democratic backsliding. It’s incumbent on us all to push our Gvt to work even more closely with allies in Europe to face down plutocracy in 🇺🇸 and tyranny in 🇷🇺.

Once again, we need to move away from the simplistic idea that there is a globalisation v deglobalisation battle, inter-connections and dependencies are here to stay, and there aren't rules that deal with this situation.

Irony of assumptions across UK politics that deglobalisation is happening - that almost exactly the opposite is the case, that the inter-dependence of the country on other countries and major companies has never been greater and that shows no sign of changing.
