The Great Lockdown Recession and International Business
Emerging Markets Economics: Firm Behavior & Microeconomic Issues eJournal, 2020
The global health pandemic and the ensuing global recession has caused unprecedented uncertainty, risks, and devastation to individuals, families, societies, and organizations. In this context, a central question arises: what are the prospects for globalization? This article addresses five pressing questions that affect globalization for multiple stakeholders: (1) How is this pandemic different from previous disruptive events? (2) Are there silver linings to this economic disruption? (3) What are current and future impacts on globalization? (4) How will different entities be affected? and (5) What will be the likely impact on major economies? We have opportunities to fundamentally shift international business for economic, environmental, and social advancements that offer hope during this overwhelming health crisis.

Third, governmental responses to the COVID-19 crisis have undermined the multilateral institutions that have thus far facilitated globalization. These forces have resulted in growing global uncertainty and higher costs in international transactions. We argue that global value chains’ reconfiguration will result in a less globalized, and more regionally frag...
As part of the Secretary-General's programme for reform which included proposals to improve the coherence of the work of the United Nations, it was decided that the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) should produce a joint report on the world economic situation and prospects that would examine the performance of the world's economies and developments in the international economy.
