Why the imposition of duties represents an anticipation by politics of the normal trend of globalization.
One of the most false and widespread preconceptions that dwell in all of us is the belief that globalization goes hand in hand with the increase in exports and imports of goods between nations.
The logical misunderstanding arises from the consolidated confusion between the export of goods and internationalization.
The export from a country and the simultaneous importation by a foreign country represents an increase in the nationalistic value by the first country in relation to the second, a phenomenon that defines a process of nationalization and not internationalization. For an enterprise to be defined as internationalized, it is essential that the flows of goods are organized within each country so that the place of production and the place of sale of the products and services coincide. This type of evolution requires the transfer between the nations of knowledge, culture, technology, capital and entrepreneurship that spread to settle in the various ecosystems, causing a decrease in trade on a global level. A logical paradigm shift that forces us to consider the slowdown in trade a natural and desirable trend of exports and imports among the major economic systems prevailing today, United States of America, China, Europe. The increase in international trade that has taken place since 2000 can be considered the first of the two phases that characterize the globalization process and we must expect that the second phase will be triggered by the stabilization of growth by all ecosystems, especially China, and the lack of international dependencies to products for which it is not possible to export their production (for example natural resources coming from extraction). The initiative by the United States to initiate protection policies, as well as the United Kingdom’s desire to leave the European Union, change meaning if we manage to get out of the preconception in which we are stranded and imagine a globalized world.
