ORIGINS AND HISTORY OF GLOBALIZATION

How did globalization start? This section discusses the origin and history of globalization.

Ans:

Globalization at a crossroads with COVID-19

In the post-pandemic world, we may see a relative concentration of production to specific

locations and nation states gaining more power as opposed to multinational organizations and
corporations.

Actually, in many ways, globalization is a phenomenon of the post-1980 world, and even the
term itself became popular only in the 1990s. It has transformed our world at a very high speed and
until recently felt like it was here to stay forever. COVID-19, however, may change that.

The challenge is not temporary travel restrictions or social distancing protocols but rather the
realization that comes with it. The outbreak has showed policymakers and businesses how fragile the
just-in-time delivery system of the global economy is, and how dependent national economies are on
such a fragile mechanism.

When China was first hit by the COVID-19, two-thirds of the entire Chinese economy was shut
down, which, in weeks, led to a supply shortage across the globe. Now, China seems to have passed at
least the first wave of the outbreak, but this time industrialized countries of the West are at the peak of
it and there is a global demand shortage. Even if separate countries can contain the outbreak, they need
to wait for the global economy to recover so their economies can operate normally again. Until the
automobile production in Europe goes back to normal, car parts will continue to accumulate in
warehouses in Turkey, for instance.

This pandemic affect it in whole country that cause of decreasing in our economy. Not also in
our economy but also for our supplies and businesses. This could be the shortage in every country that
has been affected.
