0:08 My name is Giuseppe D'Arcangelis. I'm a professor of international economics at Sapienza, University of Rome, in the Department of Social Sciences and Economics. My research topics are international trade, international migration, and related issues to international relations, like also international monetary and financial topics as well. Recently, I've also started working on gender issues, especially related to educational attainment. My research agenda at Ymirat regards the geopolitical fragmentation that we have observing

0:46 in the last 10 years, but in particular investigating the vaccine diplomacy that characterized the COVID -19 pandemic. As soon as vaccine became available, old geopolitical barriers came down. Countries that didn't have a lot of relationship with China and Russia actually started buying vaccines from them through advanced purchase agreements. My research agenda investigates whether these surprising changes in international relations among countries were long lasting or not. Both in terms of political stance in international organizations like the UN, especially

1:25 after the Ukraine invasion, but also in economic terms. So to see whether these countries started trading more with China and Russia. The geopolitical fragmentation that occurred in the last year is at the center of my research agenda and I intend to follow other routes of research here at Ymirat. During the last decade, the change in the international economy has been characterized more and more by political factors. The general positive attitude towards globalization, open markets have gone into a reversal. Actually, someone said to a stop completely, which I don't believe and actually we don't

Notwithstanding the instrumental objectives, it is important to see whether these new trade relationships were ephemeral or lasted after the urgency by changing also the

2:50 international balance of power. This is extremely relevant with respect to future worldwide alert, like the consequences of climate change and the government of international migration. I'm very honored to be the Amsterdam chair of World in Crisis at Ymiram. IMRA offers a great opportunity to share views on topics related to international relations because of its interdisciplinary views. A topic like the one that I want to study here cannot be confined in economics. Economists can give a very partial and confined view on what happened during the pandemic.

3:31 And exchanging views with political scientists, sociologists, historians or academics in literature can be very fruitful to obtain a 360 degree analysis on geopolitical fragmentation.
