Commercial Diplomacy in an Era of Geopolitical Fragmentation
An article published in The Times of India by Manuel Freire-Garabal y Núñez, Charter Member of GIOYA Higher Education Institution, examines the evolving role of commercial diplomacy in a world increasingly shaped by geopolitical fragmentation.
The article explores how commercial diplomacy has moved beyond traditional trade promotion to become a central instrument of economic security, political risk management and strategic international engagement.
In this context, governments, businesses and diplomatic services are required to navigate a landscape where supply chains, investment decisions, technology, regulation and foreign policy are increasingly interconnected.
The piece reinforces the relevance of commercial diplomacy as a discipline for understanding how cooperation, competition and economic interests are negotiated in an era of profound global transformation.
