NSTopinion Covid-19 outbreak's link to globalisation not discussed seriously.

While the outbreak is well reported, its link to globalisation has not attracted serious discussions.Technological change has driven and will continue to boost globalisation, in which the intensity of cross-border exchanges of goods, services and capital has risen amazingly in the last quarter of the century.

No one wants to dispute that globalisation means openness. This process at least implies the extent ofthe borderless economy. Hence, while governments encourage openness, they also lose control of governance that can add misery to the vulnerable in sovereign territories. People who are involved in activities related to these issues still give diversified opinions to the extent of disagreement instead of “agree to disagree”. Sometimes, it is the inconvenient truth of globalisation that’s often being avoided in public policies and discourses.
