Economic decoupling is the end of interdependence that characterized globalization until now. It means the possibility of the coexistence of two, independent, global systems relying on distinct standards, technologies and supply chains. The pandemic has made this risk all the more so significant. What does this mean for the rest of globalization? How could this affect the Middle East?

He is the Scientific Director of the school's master program in sustainability and social innovation as well as the Academic Director of the HEC Paris center for geopolitics.
