Large developed economies cannot escape the fallout from isolationism but have greater resources to weatherthe storm. Developing countries that rely upon large external economies, essential supply chains including food and medicine, inflows of capital and visitors, and participation in international labor markets are particularly vulnerable to a nationalistic crisis response. Global problems require coordinated global solutions to prevent disease from leading to widespread famine and death and economic contraction from disproportionately harming the most vulnerable.

This brief highlights the relative vulnerability of developing countries to a fractured global crisis response and how making international cooperation and exchange moredependable and crisis-proof can reduce vulnerability. 2020-08-28T15:43:33Z 2020-08-28T15:43:33Z 2020-08-24 Brief http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/569731598278330558/Global-Integration-Is-More-Important-than-Ever-to-Contain-the-Economic-and-Health-Fallout-and-Exit-the-COVID-19-Pandemic-Crisis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34394 English Research and Policy Brief;No. 37 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Brief
