b"Globalisation has suffered at least three major setbacks in just over a decade. First, the global financial crisis reduced cross-border capital flows and then President Trump's trade war caught Australia's exports in the cross-fire. Now, the COVID-19 pandemic has closed borders around the world. As the pace of globalisation has slowed, so has productivity growth. What is the future of globalisation after COVID-19? In the wake of the pandemic, will policymakers prioritise re-establishing global connectivity or retreat into greater self-reliance and economic nationalism? How can public policy help build greater resilience to international shocks?\\n\\nTo discuss these issues, USSC hosted a webinar event with Professor Douglas Irwin from Dartmouth College and Dr Stephen Kirchner, Program Director Trade and Investment with the United States Studies Centre in conversation with CEO Professor Simon Jackman.\\n\\nDr Kirchner also released his new USSC report Globalisation and Labour Productivity in the OECD: Implications for Post-Pandemic Recovery and Resilience."
