The globalized economic world order has promulgated a widespread cause and effect impact.

Cross-border supply chains are one of the main features of a globalized economy. Such global value-chains (GVCs) have emerged and become more and more complex over time, but while they were long perceived unanimously as positive developments, they have been increasingly questioned over the past decade as sources of vulnerability. This has reached a peak with the Covid-related economic crisis. The objective of this contribution is to examine the reasons for these developments as well as the possible response to be given to mitigate the associated costs.
