Applying rigour to the popular press: deglobalization, emerging countries and the importance of definitions - CEGBI Guest Lecture
Event details
Too many terms are used by politicians and the popular press with great imprecision. The largest offences are committed when using the term ‘emerging’ and ‘globalization’. What do these terms actually mean, and what does IB theory tell us about them? Deglobalization and decoupling , new world order, divestment, emerging versus developed, what does the evidence tell us about what is happening, rather than relying on the impressions of headlines?
