Deglobalisation

Deglobalisation is a process of decreasing interdependence and integration between countries, especially in terms of trade and financial flows. This can involve a variety of actions, such as increasing import tariffs and other barriers to trade, decreasing foreign investment, or reducing the movement of people across borders.

Deglobalization can be a response to globalization, which is the increasing interconnectedness of the world's economies, cultures, and populations. Some people argue that deglobalization can help protect domestic industries and jobs, while others believe it can lead to economic and political instability.
