Panel Discussion
Globalization and the Supply Chain Crisis
Zoom Webinar
Wednesday, January 5, 2021 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM ET
During the past few years, the China-U.S. trade war and the subsequent upheavals caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have revealed the fragility and interconnectedness of global supply chains. What does the future of supply chains look like? How will regionalization be different from globalization? And what will it take to be competitive in this shifting landscape? Join us in a conversation around current the supply chain crisis and bigger implications for globalization on Wednesday, January 5, 2022, at 12 PM EST with Dr. Shannon K. O’Neil, Vice President, Deputy Director of Studies, and Nelson and David Rockefeller Senior Fellow for Latin America Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations; Dr. Catherine L Mann, External Member of the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England, and Dr. Phil Levy, Chief Economist at San Francisco-based freight forwarding and customs brokerage company Flexport.
