Abstract: The pandemic and the war in Ukraine attracted attention to the vulnerability of global supply chains. After years of offshoring, is now the time for reshoring? For diversifying supply chains? And should governments engage in active policies to promote these goals? Answers to these questions shed light on the future of international trade and globalization.
