Why “deglobalization” is a great word

DEGLOBALIZATION — [Noun] The process of diminishing interdependence and integration between the economies of nations. Formed within English from the prefix de- (expressing reversal or removal) and the noun globalization, with the suffix -ation denoting a process; first attested in print in 1968 and later popularized as a socioeconomic term by Walden Bello around 2001. Unlike isolationism, a political doctrine of non-participation, or protectionism, a specific policy of trade restriction, deglobalization is the broader, systemic unwinding of established ties. It is the factory repatriated, the supply chain shortened, and the tariff raised—a quiet contraction from a world once declared borderless, toward a future of smaller, more sovereign rooms.
