Reshoring: A step forward or backward in the internationalization process?

Description

In recent years, "reshoring" – the process by which companies move activities that were previously moved to foreign countries back to their home country – has attracted great academic interest. This project aims to contribute to the understanding of barriers and possibilities of reshoring and most important its consequences. Further understanding of the effects of reshoring is also very timely as the Covid-19 pandemic has triggered much discussion in media, government, academy both in Sweden and the EU on potential solutions to disruption problems in global supply chains (e.g., interruption of transportations between countries, stalled production, unfulfilled orders, slower shipments, stock shortages).
