In addition to this, the COVID-19 pandemic has a significant and rapid decrease in international flows that incorporates trade, international travel, and foreign direct investments in contemporary history (Gorynia, 2020). This indicates that there is a significant rollback of current gain in globalization. However, this does not symbolize a primary collapse of the assimilation of the international market. Nevertheless, the outbreak of COVID-19 has shepherded in some uncertainty regarding the climate. This is in return escalating protectionism.
