globalization backlash

Globalization backlash refers to the pushback against the increased interconnectedness and integration of economies, cultures, and societies worldwide. While globalization can bring economic growth and cultural exchange, it also can lead to job losses, income inequality, and cultural erosion for some groups. People may feel worried about losing their jobs or traditions and thus resist or criticize globalization efforts. This backlash can take the form of political protests, protectionist policies, or a desire to prioritize local industries and customs over international influences. It reflects concerns about balancing global benefits with protecting local communities and identities.
