Hyper-globalisation refers to an extreme level of
interconnectedness and integration among countries and
economies on a global scale. It involves the deepening and
acceleration of cross-border flows of goods, services, capital,
information, and people.
Slowbalisation a reduction in the exchange of intermediate
goods between countries as a way to exploit comparative
advantage and specialisation gains.

“Slowbalisation” points towards a new movement

 DOCUMENT 3: IPSOS. WORLD OPINION ON GLOBALIZATION
2021. August 2021

What do people around the world think about globalization?

These findings are the result of a survey of 19,017 adults aged 16-71 in 25 countries around the
world.The survey was conducted between March26th and April 9th 2021.

Do you agree with the findings about France or the country you come from?

Sean Doherty, Head of International Trade and Investment at the World Economic Forum:

“International trade and investment can grow economies, reduce poverty, improve healthcare and
empower people worldwide," (…)"However, changes caused by trade can be disruptive and painful,
and can sometimes undermine local reforms. The seeming contradiction in survey results is
understandable: people want more of the good and less of the bad of globalization. (…) "To grow
the gains and achieve fair outcomes for all, governments need to listen to local priorities and work
together on policies related to the environment, jobs, tax, the digital economy and other issues which
reach across borders.” August 2021.

China’s role is essential and its economic influence goes with structural power
expansion.
The new Brics are looking to create a new world order. But their union is feeble.
The role of India will be capital in the future as the country is replacing China as a
main producer.
Russia is working to create a new political world order based on different values.
The war in Ukraine has complicated matters.
Trade wars with China exemplify global tensions and leads to “decoupling”.
However, that movement will hurt both economies.
A Chinese led system would be different as State involvement is very different
