What Is Globalization? Globalization is the socioeconomic reform process of eliminating trade, investment, cultural, information technology, and political barriers across countries – “Eliminate Friction for trade” Many aspects of globalization – Political, social, cultural – Focus of this course is economic/business Goal = increased economic growth and geopolitical integration and interdependence among nations – Actions of one country impacts another © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Proven Record of Free Trade Among Nations Bahnsen, D. (2021) There’s No Free Lunch “The message from history is so blatantly obvious – that free trade causes mutual prosperity while protectionism causes poverty…There is not a single example of a country opening its borders to trade and ending up poorer.” Matt Ridley (British writer, former member of UK House, Oxford educated) Legitimate discussions around matters of: national security, intellectual property, national health and safety Global Trade leads to Prosperity © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Globalization Trends 1. Center of economic gravity is shifting toward emerging economies – Shifting from North America and Europe – Shifting to China, SE Asia & India – BRIIC countries expanding 2. Supply chain failures (highlighted with COVID & geo-political events) leading to more local content (less globalization – deglobalization) – Higher prices for most consumers 3. More regional partnerships instead of “everyone trading with everyone” (Ch. 3) Globalization is not ending – it is changing!! © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Trend – Shortening Supply Chains Some companies have already decided to move some of their operations in order to cope with the ongoing deglobalization trend. In June, Lego said it would invest $1 billion and create 1,760 jobs over 10 years with its new factory in Virginia in order to shorten its supply chains for the key U.S. market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) will build a third plant and begin production of the world's most advanced semiconductors in Phoenix by the end of the decade, the U.S. Commerce Department announced Monday morning. This brings TSMC's total Arizona investment to $65 billion — the largest foreign direct investment in a new project in U.S. history, Raimondo said. © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Impact of Globalization Trends Less Globalization = Higher Prices (Inflation) Fink wrote that the Russian invasion of Ukraine has “put an end to the globalization we have experienced over the last three decades.” He argued that companies and governments will be looking to reduce their dependencies on international trade in the coming years, leading many to onshore their operations. “This decoupling will inevitably create challenges for companies, including higher costs and margin pressures,” he said, adding that there will be an era of increasing inflationary pressures worldwide as global supply Throughout chains are modern remade.history, globalization has been a deflationary force. Increased trade and migration between nations have acted to reduce labor and materials costs for decades now, leading many critical consumer prices to fall. a future where there are “parallel economies” that each have their own technology platforms and supply chains, due to the current state of increased nationalism and onshoring worldwide. One of the benefits of globalization is that it creates competition amongst businesses,” he said. “As corporates compete with each other, they typically set the lowest possible price points which is a deflationary effect. De-globalization can have the opposite effect.” How Economically Connected is the World?

World Economic Organizations The world economy is in crisis again. If we look back 80 years, we might be able to fix it  Michael Jacobs is professor of political economy at the University of Sheffield Thu 4 Jan 2024 10.00 EST The Guardian 2024 marks an important anniversary. Eighty years ago, in July 1944, a small town called Bretton Woods in New Hampshire, America, hosted a conference. Its purpose was to establish a new set of rules and institutions that could keep order over global capitalism after the disasters of the Great Depression and the second world war. It is not too much to say that Bretton Woods established the infrastructure of the modern global economy Results of Bretton Woods In 1944 the US produced more than half of the world’s manufactured output. Today it is around a sixth. International trade represented less than a quarter of global GDP; today it is more than half. China has grown from a largely feudal rural economy to an industrial powerhouse. © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington. All Rights Reserved.

What impact has globalization had? Growth of multiple country economies Lifted countries out of poverty/raised living standards More choices for consumers – pricing power Improved cultural awareness Created “multi-polar” world economy – Dominated by U.S., China, EU Decoupling – Countries growing based on their own strengths – independent economically – Less reliance on other country’s economy – China/U.S.economies Better institutional structures – transparent, accountable Some regions left behind – Latin America, Africa (emerging) © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Impact of Globalization – Decoupling Product Decoupling Example Decoupling = separation of previously linked systems so that they may operate independently Taiwan Manufactures ~2/3rds of the world’s semiconductor chips Countries moving to “decouple” from reliance on Taiwan © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.

Strategic Autonomy = Decoupling Wary of being left behind, Europe has grasped onto the notion of “strategic autonomy” to help it compete technologically and economically. Here it is putting money behind constructing homegrown industries and regional supply chains in strategic areas such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, green hydrogen, semiconductors, and satellite communications.

Economic impact of Decoupling Trend in Globalization Globalization is slowly being replaced by protectionism – is this good or bad? Why? Higher consumer prices – inflationary Less consumer choices Reduces economic efficiencies – higher cost to produce microchips in U.S. instead of Taiwan (55% higher labor costs) Exclusionary and does not promote economic cooperation – use as a political weapon – Less global security? More government directed (political) decisions instead of market decisions – More government spending, higher debt and higher taxes Source: The Economist, Zero-sum, January 14, 2023 and The Economist, Protectionist Turns, January 14, 2023 © 2017 Cengage Learning and University of Texas at Arlington.
