The Globalization Myth

“Regionalization is quickly becoming the new globalization. Shannon O’Neil’s The Globalization Myth deftly explains why the key to America’s continued industrial competitiveness lies neither in ‘America alone’ reshoring nor in laissez faire offshoring but in nearshoring. An important corrective to a broken public policy debate.”—Ian Bremmer, President, Eurasia Group
 

“Shannon O’Neil’s call for ‘more NAFTAs and fewer America Firsts’ is timely, constructive, and pragmatic.  With her deep knowledge of the Americas and of the politics of regional integration, she makes a practical case for an American economic strategy which would work in a world dividing more into blocks.  I urge our elected officials to open their minds to O’Neil’s compelling argument.”— Adam S. Posen, President, Peterson Institute for International Economics
 

“This is a phenomenal book about regionalization. Global markets are consolidating into three regional hubs. The US needs to act on that, or it will get left behind. I found this a gripping read!”—Ann E. Harrison, University of California, Berkeley
