Discussion:\nGlobal supply chains and national security: by Jonathan Chanis
\n\nThe\nshutdown of global supply chains due to the Covid-19 pandemic brought to the\nfore an issue with the high level of global economic interdependence: what\nhappens when one country is the main source for an item\, say face masks\, and\nthen can no longer supply the item? Countries suddenly unable to meet the\ndemand for certain supplies are faced with growing calls for economic\nnationalism. What are some of the lasting effects that the pandemic could have\non global supply chains and trade? How would this affect national security?
