      1. The latest New Left Review rightly notes that "the initial vectors of contagion were the networks of globalization" & "manufacturing supply chains, tourism, international evangelical gatherings and overseas students scattered its microbes from Wuhan to Qom and greater Milan"pic.twitter.com/QwMrOUGGKE

      2. The networks of globalization helped the pandemic spread like wildfire. In the short-term (and very likely the long term) these networks are going to shut down or be substantially altered: less travel, borders even more restricted, supply chains redirected.

      3. The partial rollback seems inevitable, not least because the nation-state is now empowered (for better or worse) with emergency powers. On a political level, leaders like Trump & Biden are now competing to outdo each other in nationalism.https://twitter.com/robertwrighter/status/1251545990051573760 …

      I hope Biden's not going to try to out-nationalism Trump. But it's starting to look like he may. https://twitter.com/kylegriffin1/status/1251540998741790722 …

      The premise on competing to outdo each other seems quite, quite dubious.

      To be clear I think there is a type of nationalism that Biden should be taping into: this is a moment of national sacrifice, with recognition and reward to those who sacrifice the most. The problem with Trump is his nationalism is blinkered, counterproductive & divisive

      That I agree with and it is a benign meaning of nationalism that gets short shrift in the current moment when people take revanchist nationalism as the only meaning of the word. But Wright seems to be saying Biden is not competing for the xenophobia vote. That's just weak.

      Yeah, @robertwrighter is more critical of Biden on China than I am. My position is that Biden should condemn xenophobia but there are good policy reasons to criticize Chinese government and also work to partially decouple the supply chain.
