Foreword

Over the last decade, attitudes toward globalization have shifted in a number of developed countries, contributing to rising trade tensions. A growing public perception holds that the integration of goods, services, labor, and capital markets only benefits a happy few while leaving many people behind. This change in attitudes has been an important factor in the transformation of the political landscape with the election in several countries of politicians who question the effects of international cooperation and who have adopted fewer cooperative approaches to trade and migration.
