Panel 2:  De-globaliazation and a New International Political Economy

The Chinese government’s emphasis on reducing dependency on foreign technology and fostering homegrown innovation reflects a broader strategy to consolidate its economic sovereignty and global influence. India’s economic nationalism is characterized by initiatives such as “Make in India” that aim to boost domestic manufacturing, reduce import dependence, and enhance the competitiveness of Indian industries. The United States has seen a shift towards protectionism and policies to prioritize American industries and workers. This includes renegotiation of trade deals, imposition of tariffs, and initiatives to revive domestic manufacturing. This panel considers the rise and return of economic nationalism and industrial policy in India, China, and the United States, the emergence of regional blocs, and the ensuing implications for technology sectors, manufacturing, and the global economy.
