  • Drawing on recent OECD evidence, Dr Gupta highlights the economic costs of excessive relocalisation and the need to balance national resilience with global cooperation.

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.”
