GTGC lunch seminar: Chris Wensink & Midas van Dijk on Regionalizing Eurasia
As part of the GTGC Lunch Seminars, Chris Wensink and Midas van Dijk presented their book 'Regionalizing Eurasia'. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted travel and placed free trade under scrutiny. Then, the war in Ukraine triggered unprecedented economic sanctions and severing of trade ties. By contrast, this book demonstrates that the causes of deglobalization have been growing for decades. The future, however, is not the end of globalism nor a return to nationalism, but a regionalization in which the EU, ASEAN, EEAU, Mercosur and other blocs will become the new focal points of economics and world politics. A regionalizing world will offer exciting new opportunities - but only to those who grasp them. This book can help you achieve a better understanding of these possibilities.
