Deglobalization is when countries start to do things more on their own instead of working together like a big team.
Imagine you and your friends all share one big toy box, that’s like globalization, where everyone shares resources and works together. But if deglobalization happens, it's like each friend takes their toys home and keeps them for themselves. They still play with the toys, but not as much with each other.
Deglobalization means countries might stop sharing things like food, clothes, or even jobs, they make more stuff for themselves instead of trading with others.
Why does it happen?
Sometimes, countries feel that working alone is easier or better. For example, if one country decides to grow its own food instead of buying it from another country, that’s a sign of deglobalization.
It's like when you decide to draw your own picture instead of coloring together with your friends, the picture might be different, but it's still fun!
