Summary:

"This timely book comprehensively analyses supply chain resilience (SCR) policy, responding to the urgent need to re-examine supply chain structures globally since the COVID-19 pandemic. It combines economics, law, international trade, geopolitics, and national security policy in a detailed discussion of the multi-faceted challenges of achieving supply chain resilience. Sam Mulopulos showcases a new theoretical approach to SCR policy reoriented towards identifying critical vulnerabilities to the economy. The book describes innovative methods of categorizing SCR policies as transparency, diversification, and capacity interventions, examining the costs and benefits of each. It also outlines how powers such as China and Russia create supply chain vulnerabilities for market economies, adding a geopolitical and national security consideration to what is often perceived as merely an economic issue. Ultimately, Mulopulos argues for policy that identifies supply chain weaknesses to give policymakers fresh ideas for protecting critical supply chains. Presenting original, specific policy ideas for building SCR post-pandemic, this is a crucial read for supply chain policymakers worldwide, as well as academics in trade law, international economics and public policy"-- Provided by publisher.
