The rise of China, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, are likely to prove turning points not just for geopolitics but also for economic geography. Has globalization peaked, and is about to unravel? What future for international trade? Can multilateral cooperation help keep world peace, cope with climate change, and reduce global poverty?
