Understanding the shifting landscape of globalization and global trade

Has globalization reached its peak? Are countries diversifying their trade flows? Is there a shift towards regionalization? What are future opportunities and challenges in the global marketplace? – For a sound picture of globalization and global trade, we need reliable data and top-tier research.  

To support informed decision-making, foster fact-based debates and help separate facts from fiction around these topics, DHL Group has partnered with New York University’s renowned Stern School of Business. The DHL Initiative on Globalization at NYU Stern aims to develop and maintain the academic world’s most comprehensive collection of data on global flows of trade, capital, information, and people. As a leading center of excellence for data-driven globalization research, it provides business leaders, policymakers, educators, and journalists timely insights into the state and trajectory of globalization and global trade, their impact on companies and countries, and best practices for connecting across borders.
