Bill Hawkins, head of Trade and Investment at Sussex Strategy Group and Managing Principal of GrowthBridge, examines whether the Trump administration is precipitating an end to globalization as we've known it since the Cold War. Drawing on recent research papers in VoxEU and Foreign Affairs, he argues in favour of the thesis globalization has historically thrived under a single hegemon willing to create "public goods" like stable trade rules and security guarantees, but that America is now abandoning this role based on a bipartisan consensus that past trade agreements haven't benefited ordinary Americans.
