Deglobalisation and the Future of India
Most nations across the globe have benefited from globalisation, which gave them access to global trade and international security arrangements with the United States of America and the post-World War II period after 1945 that made the world’s seas safe for shipping.
Now it’s time to consider what the New World order could be in regional orders, maybe around the globe, so for today’s article, I will be discussing the possibilities of India’s future in a deglobalised which will be a world where goods and services are far more expensive.
This expense is because rather than nations specialising in certain products and services, nations will need to do their manufacturing, design and finance within their country rather than being spread out to a host of other nations with their specialities.
However, this doesn’t apply to nations like India, a pocket power within the Indian subcontinent.
What makes India a pocket power is its limited geopolitical position relative to the Indian subcontinent.
It has the Himalayas, which provide natural defence between India and China and prevent both nations from expanding in each other’s directions.
India’s neighbouring countries of India are Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.
India is located latitudinally in the Northern Hemisphere and longitudinally in the Eastern Hemisphere.
