Will globalization be derailed

by the recent world financial crisis?

Inevitably, the answer is yes.

Globalization is a highly dynamic process.

It has produced tremendous benefits.

In many countries,poverty levels have fallen.

Increased trade has been transformative.

But historically, globalization is also vulnerable to terribleand costly backlashes.

We might think of the phenomenon as cyclical.
