According to Abdelal, “We’ve seen globalization before, and it failed. It failed in part because there was an increasing legitimacy crisis for it within national societies. And, I think that failure took the business community largely by surprise.” Also included is information on new tools and resources, news from Global Compact Local Networks around the world, and much more.
