Cold War II? Preserving Economic Cooperation Amid Geoeconomic Fragmentation
December 11, 2023
In her speech at the 20th World Congress of the International Economic Association, Gita Gopinath discusses the potential onset of Cold War II and its implications for the global economy. She draws parallels between historical periods of globalization and fragmentation, emphasizing the current geopolitical tensions between the US and China. Gopinath highlights signs of growing trade and investment fragmentation and the risks it poses to economic cooperation and growth. She emphasizes the need for pragmatic approaches to minimize the costs of fragmentation while addressing security concerns. Gopinath suggests three principles for policymakers: seeking multilateral approaches for common interests, adopting non-discriminatory plurilateral agreements, and restricting unilateral policy actions to correct market distortions. She concludes by urging collaboration to preserve the benefits of free trade and tackle global challenges in an increasingly fragmented world.
