The 2023 edition of the AIG Global Trade Series explores the extent and impact of regionalisation on the global trade landscape.

As the high tide of globalisation recedes, trade and economic interdependence are increasingly seen by governments through the lens of national security. The result is a greater readiness to use economic and trade instruments to protect national security and bolster national resilience. Trade policy is more and more influenced by the need to reduce critical supply chain dependencies and to resist economic coercion by antagonistic states.

What implications does this growing defensiveness have for international trade flows and how will it impact the global trade landscape for the future?
