Drawing upon this unique research base, our Initiative strives to provide business leaders, policymakers, and educators timely and useful insights into the state and trajectory of globalization, how globalization affects companies and countries, and best practices for connecting across borders. As part of NYU Stern's new Center for the Future of Management, we aim to serve as a hub for scholarship on globalization and its implications. We embrace interdisciplinary approaches and engagement with practitioners as sources of novel insights to help address important business and public policy challenges. ## Our Research [ ![A screenshot of the journal article entitled "Challenging the deglobalization narrative: Global flows have remained resilient through successive shocks"](/sites/default/files/styles/480w_x_590h/public/2025-03/capture.png?h=d3b6798a&itok=h-PSn96h) ### Publications ](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/about/departments-centers-initiatives/centers-of-research/center-future-management/dhl-initiative-globalization/publications)Explore our team's latest articles and books on globalization and its implications for business and public policy [Publications](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/experience-stern/about/departments-centers-initiatives/centers-of-research/center-future-management/dhl-initiative-globalization/publications) [ ![Globalization Explorer](/sites/default/files/styles/480w_x_590h/public/assets/images/la-victorie-82Xsw-pGsJI-unsplash.jpg?h=d627821a&itok=yEg2crsd) ### Globalization Explorer ](https://globalization.stern.nyu.edu)Improve your mental map of the world with our data visualization and analysis tools covering trade, capital, information, and people flows [Globalization Explorer](https://globalization.stern.nyu.edu) [ ![A screenshot of the DHL Global Connectedness Tracker, March 2026.
