Global commerce today runs on supply chains, logistics and connectivity - and India’s S. Jaishankar warns these forces are reshaping power and cooperation. It’s not just goods: resources, data and talent now flow transnationally, driven by technology and AI. Smooth logistics and resilient supply chains are strategic imperatives; no place is too remote for business anymore. Yet cross-border risks - pandemics, terrorism, climate shocks - make international collaboration unavoidable. National instincts don’t guarantee cooperation, so cultivating openness is essential. Jaishankar’s message: accelerate integration where it boosts efficiency, but pair it with stronger cooperative frameworks to manage shared risks. A clear-eyed primer on how logistics, AI and mobility are changing global governance.
