What happens when the demands of the global economy come into conflict with the priorities of individual nations?

In The Globalization Paradox, economist Dani Rodrik explores the relationship between globalization, national sovereignty, and democracy. He examines how international trade, financial integration, and political institutions shape the modern world, while questioning some of the assumptions underlying the global economic order.

The piece we’re sharing is an excerpt from the book, offering readers a glimpse into Rodrik’s arguments and a starting point for exploring broader debates around globalization, economic policy, and political autonomy.
