Re-globalization

April 28th 2020 - during the Covid-19 pandemic

King Abdullah II of Jordan writes in The Washington Post about “re-globalization”; about the need to find global solutions to global problems.

Basically he is saying that we should not retreat to myopic nationalism and protectionism, or return to the same normal we had before the pandemic, we should focus on creating something better.

Re-globalization “… aiming for a renewed integration of our world that centers on the well-being of its people. A re-globalization that strengthens and builds capacities within our countries and ushers in true cooperation rather than competition. A re-globalization that recognizes that a single country, acting alone, cannot succeed.”

I should just shut up and let him speak, so, below is the link to the piece, if you have not read it yet.
