Globalization is the force behind Asia’s extraordinary economic rise. But the supply chains that have linked Asia to the globalization process could come under strain from new technologies that might, for example, make it easier for industrialized countries in the West to manufacture products closer to home. So will technology affect Asia’s vaunted position in the global supply chain? What kind of a challenge does it pose to specific countries, industries and workers? Join host Erik Churchill and economists Elisabetta Gentile and Sameer Khatiwada, together with special guest Abdul Abiad, as they discuss these issues in Episode 3.
