New Global Dynamics

Managing Economic Change in a Transforming World

Zia Qureshi and Daehee Jeong
Release Date: November 1, 2024

The world faces a conflux of powerful forces of change. Digital technologies and advances in artificial intelligence are transforming markets, economies, and societies. Global geopolitics is shifting, and the rise of China is challenging the postwar international order led by the United States. Geopolitical tensions are elevated, and so are political polarization and societal anxieties within countries as change creates winners and losers. Nationalist industrial policies and protectionism are surging. Added to this mosaic of change is climate change, which will have profound effects on global patterns of production, investment, and trade.

“New Global Dynamics” analyzes the implications of these transformations and addresses the new challenges institutions and policymakers face at national and global levels. It examines how these changes are affecting the global economy, the future of globalization, international power structures, and competition in markets, delving into the shifting dynamics in industry, trade, and finance.

International cooperation has become more daunting, but it is essential in matters ranging from the regulation of new technologies to trade policies to global finance to climate transition. In a more contested world, a rules-based international order has become even more critical.

From US-China competition and geoeconomic fragmentation to the AI revolution and climate change, this volume offers crucial insights into how these forces are altering patterns of production, trade, investment, and finance, upending longstanding power structures. A valuable resource for understanding a rapidly evolving and uncertain outlook.

Technology and geopolitics are two of the several forces examined in this book that are transforming national and global economies. This excellent collection of articles by thoughtful scholars, including some well-known names, can help us to think deeper and more broadly about the implications of these forces.
