THE HISTORY OF GLOBALIZATION
• Since ancient times, humans have sought distant places to settle, produce, and
exchange goods enabled by improvements in technology and transportation. But
not until the 19th century did global integration take off.
• Following centuries of European colonization and trade activity, that first “wave” of
globalization was propelled by steamships, railroads, the telegraph, and other
breakthroughs, and also by increasing economic cooperation among countries.
• The globalization trend eventually waned and crashed in the catastrophe of World
War I, followed by postwar protectionism, the Great Depression, and World War II.
• After World War II in the mid-1940s, the United States led efforts to revive
international trade and investment under negotiated ground rules, starting a
second wave of globalization, which remains ongoing, though buffeted by periodic
downturns and mounting political scrutiny.

PHASES OF GLOBALIZATION
1. Globalization 1.0 ( upto 1800): Characterized by the globalization of countries, this phase was
driven by exploration and colonialism, which established trade networks and cultural exchanges.
2. Globalization 2.0 (1800–2000): This era focused on the globalization of companies, marked by
the rise of multinational corporations and the establishment of international trade agreements.
The post-World War II period led to the creation of institutions like the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) and the World Bank, which aimed to foster global economic cooperation.
3. Globalization 3.0 (2000–2008): This phase emphasizes the globalization of individuals,
facilitated by the internet and digital technology. It has led to unprecedented connectivity and
the rise of global communication networks, impacting how people interact and conduct
business across borders.
4. Globalization 4.0 or Initiation of De-globalization (2008 onwards): This contemporary phase
focuses on the integration/dis-integration of services and the impact of emerging technologies
like artificial intelligence and blockchain on global trade and economic relations.

DEGLOBALIZATION AND ITS KEY
ASPECTS
• De-globalization is characterized by aggravation of protectionist policy of states and extension of sanction
regimes. It caused the relative drop in intensity of global trade and global capital flows and at the same time
led to the crisis in regional integration in different parts of the world.
• This movement is characterized by a shift towards national solutions, increased border controls, and a
decline in global cooperation, contrasting sharply with the trends of globalization that have dominated the
global economy for decades.
CHARACTERISTICS OF DEGLOBALIZATION
1.Reduced Economic Interdependence: It involves actions such as increasing tariffs, decreasing foreign
investments, and limiting the movement of people across borders which lead to a more protectionist stance of
countries.
2. Political and Social Factors: The rise of populist politics in various regions, including the U.S.A, China, has
contributed to a growing skepticism towards globalized economies. Events such as Russia-Ukranain War, USA-
China Trade war and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic have further leading to a re-evaluation of the
benefits of globalization.
3.Impact of Global Events: Recent global challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war,
have highlighted vulnerabilities in global supply chains and prompted nations to seek more resilient, localized
solutions. 7

hampered, slowing down the pace of
Advancement technological advancement.

• The globalization index highlights a slight decrease of the pace of economic globalization after 2007. And
this is considered to be a trend towards deglobalization.

RECENT EVENTS IN WORLD THAT
SUPPORT DEGLOBALIZATION
• 2008 Financial Crisis.
20
• Fundamentally, of course, we've seen the rise of populist politics in Europe, and
obviously in the United States with the election of Trump.
• Post global financial crisis of course, we have seen a return to protectionism, including
many countries bring, again, perhaps less tariff barriers, but more non tariff barriers.
• Ongoing conflicts and competition between major powers, such as the US and China,
have prompted nations to reconsider their reliance on global trade networks, fostering a
more insular approach to economic policy.
• The push for sustainable practices and the green transition necessitates a reevaluation of
global trade dynamics, as countries seek to minimize carbon footprints associated with
long-distance transportation.
• The COVID-19 pandemic underscored vulnerabilities in global supply chains, prompting
countries to reassess their dependencies on international sources for critical goods.
• Companies and countries are increasingly focusing on local sourcing and production to
mitigate risks associated with global supply chains, such as those highlighted during the
COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions like the Ukraine war.
