Abstract
The last few years have been challenging for globalization� While the world has benefited from the fragmented networks of production-sharing known as global value chains (GVCs), concerns are being raised over their risks� Chapter 1 of the Global Value Chain Development Report 2019 pointed to a rise in protectionism in general and a brewing trade conflict between the United States (US) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in particular� More obstacles have since emerged from the sudden and simultaneous closure of borders due to the COVID-19 pandemic that exposed vulnerabilities in some supply chains, rattling policymakers (Chapter 5)� Despite these challenges, GVCs—for supporters and detractors alike—remain a reality that cannot be ignored� Indeed, the very vaccines crucial to ending the COVID-19 pandemic rely on multinational partnerships for the over 200 components that go into them (Irwin 2021)�
