Introducing the new DHL Global Connectedness Tracker

Steven A. Altman and Caroline R. Bastian

Global connectedness remains at a record level, despite geopolitical tensions and uncertainties


The DHL Global Connectedness Tracker provides a concise update on the state and trajectory of globalization, drawing upon the analysis of trade, capital, information, and people flows that underpins the DHL Global Connectedness Index. The current edition addresses five central questions: (1) Are global glows still growing? (2) Is geopolitical rivalry fracturing the world economy? (3) Are international flows becoming more regional? (4) Are countries diversifying their international flows? (5) Which are the world’s most globally connected countries?

 

Readers who want to save the Tracker for later reading or print it to read on the go will prefer the PDF version, while those who are reading online and want to explore interactive features should view the interactive site.
