Quotes attributable to Associate Professor Rakesh Gupta:
"As global trade patterns continue to fracture under geopolitical strain, the question is no longer whether globalisation will endure, but how it will evolve.
“The post-pandemic world has seen a decisive turn away from efficiency and open markets toward policies centred on national security, supply chain resilience, and technological sovereignty.
“This new phase of what I call ‘conditional globalisation’ reflects governments’ growing willingness to intervene in trade to protect strategic industries and reduce dependence on foreign supply chains.”
