The story of globalization is the story of the growing complexity of supply chains. Governments have long used trade policies to help their companies become part of those supply chains. Most of these policies did not target any particular supply chain; instead, they created a general framework of rules to facilitate trade and investment in the hope that this would create a favourable environment for supply chains take root. Trade officials remained largely agnostic about who traded what with whom, as long as the trade generated high-paying jobs and prosperity.
