Geoeconomic spheres: The Age of Economic Multipolarity and Regionalism

Resumen

La globalización se enfrenta al desafío del fin de la unipolaridad, llevando al estudio de la economía internacional y las cadenas de producción a rediseñarse para tener en cuenta la seguridad nacional. La invasión rusa de Ucrania, el corte del gas a la Unión Europea y el uso de deuda y rutas comerciales para conseguir objetivos políticos obligan a los aliados occidentales a reducir el riesgo de sus mercados y economías. Aunque muchos ven el proteccionismo como inevitable, su falta de utilidad real impide que sea un sustituto adecuado. Sin embargo, la integración regional y la creación de cadenas de suministro basadas en alianzas presentan una oportunidad única en la historia de la política económica: fortalecer simultáneamente la creación de alianzas a la par que reducir los riesgos de nuestras economías.

Palabras clave:

geoeconomía, cadenas de suministro, política industrial, regionalismo, reducción del riesgo, esferificación
