Abstract

In the context of the discussion on deglobalization in economic literature, that has been intensified by the slowdown in globalization processes since the early 2010s, there was made an attempt to systemize the key challenges of the world economy at the current stage. Three enlarged clusters of global meta-risks were identified: the rise of protectionism, geopolitical uncertainty, digitalization challenges. Their consideration was based on the scheme of structuring the consequences that arise for and from the activities of the GVCs. The main conclusion was that our present reality remains as codependent world.

Keywords: geopolitical uncertainty, global meta-risks, global value chains, digitalization of the world economy, technological protectionism.
