An epidemic of globalisation – and the globalisation of an epidemic

Apr 03 2020 20:11
John Luiz
The extraordinary events associated with the spread of the COVID-19 virus over the past
few months has highlighted various weaknesses associated with globalisation. We have
gained from this, but with COVID-19 we are experiencing one of many drawbacks associated
with this model. We have seen the globalisation of an epidemic – now a pandemic –
a s borders remained opened. In many respects we have been fortunate that something
matching this scale has not happened earlier despite previous hints at this.
The other perspective is that of the epidemic of globalisation itself and what has been
exposed as a result of this virus. The benefits of globalisation in manufacturing has lowered
costs and facilitated specialisation associated with presumed competitive advantages.
To give two examples: The giant Boeing 787 Dreamliner has massive plants in Italy, Japan and
United States manufacturing the one-piece composite fuselage barrels and wings and these
aspects need to be completely in-sync and integrated across the globe. A major American
notebook computer has its LCD display manufactured in South Korea or Taiwan, the
microprocessor and motherboard in China, the memory in Japan, the hard disk drive in
Singapore, Thailand or the Philippines, and the battery in Malaysia or Mexico.
