Abstract

Background

The interwar period saw a reversal of the first wave of globalization, with rising trade and migration barriers. Understanding this shift helps contextualize today's backlash against global integration.

Methods

We document trade and migration trends, analyse policies that dismantled globalization, and review literature on their effects on workers, industries, and economies. Historical and comparative analysis links past protectionist cycles with current trends.

Results

Protectionist policies during the interwar period disrupted trade and migration, leaving lasting economic and labour market impacts. Historical patterns parallel contemporary moves toward reduced openness.

Conclusion

This study highlights the risks of protectionist cycles and provides historical context for current challenges to global integration, informing policy responses to sustain international economic cooperation.

贸易战和移民限制：两次世界大战之间时代的见解

两次世界大战之间的时期见证了第一波全球化浪潮的逆转，贸易和移民壁垒不断上升。理解这一转变有助于理解当今对全球一体化的强烈抵制。我们记录了贸易和移民趋势，分析了破坏全球化的政策，并回顾了有关其对工人、产业和经济影响的文献。历史和比较分析将过去的保护主义周期与当前的趋势联系起来。两次世界大战期间的保护主义政策扰乱了贸易和移民，对经济和劳动力市场造成了持久的影响。历史模式与当代减少开放的趋势是平行的。本研究强调了保护主义周期的风险，为当前全球一体化面临的挑战提供了历史背景，为维持国际经济合作的政策应对提供了信息。
