About this Lecture

Global value chains are being reshaped by rising demand and new industry capabilities in the developing world as well as a wave of new technologies. Globalization is in the midst of a transformation. Yet the public debate about trade is often about recapturing the past rather than looking toward the future. The mix of countries, companies, and workers that stand to gain in the next era is changing. Understanding how the landscape is shifting will help policy makers and business leaders prepare for globalization¡¯s next chapter and the opportunities and challenges it will present.
