Global Shift

The global economy is in a phase of accelerated and deeply interconnected transformation, characterized by tensions, developments and challenges that redefine the way in which countries and companies participate in international trade. Throughout this book, forces have been analyzed that, although they seem to operate in different spheres-technology, geopolitics, digitalization, logistics, finance or global crises-are in fact part of the same framework that shapes the course of the contemporary economic system. The path presented shows that world trade can no longer be understood solely on the basis of flows of goods and services, but as a complex network in which political decisions, technological innovations, structural vulnerabilities and new business capabilities converge.
