6 Table of Contents I. 1 2 3 Preface Frank Appel 2 Preface Pankaj Ghemawat 3 Ten Key Take-aways 4 Executive Summary 8 How Globalized Is the World 10 Chapter 1 introduces the DHL Global Connectedness Index’s 3-D approach to measuring globalization, describes how connected the world is today at the aggregate global level, and examines how the depth and breadth of global connectedness have evolved since 2005. It also compares globalization trends from the DHL Global Connectedness Index with those based on other globalization indexes. How Globalized Are Individual Countries and Regions 24 Chapter 2 describes the results of the 2014 DHL Global Connectedness Index, including country rankings and discussion of interesting patterns. The countries whose connectedness increased or decreased the most over the past two years are highlighted, and countries’ depth scores are compared with predicted scores based on their structural conditions such as sizes and levels of economic development. The results are also aggregated up to the regional level, and differences among regions are discussed. The Depth of Global Connectedness 44 Chapter 3 tracks how much of 12 types of trade, capital, information, and people flows that could potentially take place either within countries’ borders or across them are domestic versus international. Trends in the depth of global connectedness since 2005 are examined, and, where available data permit, future prospects are discussed. The chapter also highlights the large potential for economic gains from deepening global connectedness.
DHL Global Connectedness Index 2014 7 4 5 The Breadth of Global Connectedness 58 Chapter 4 examines how the distributions of countries’ international interactions across partner countries are changing as the “big shift” of economic activity to emerging economies reshapes global connectedness. It focuses on trends in the breadth of global connectedness as measured on the DHL Global Connectedness Index, and complements breadth with analysis of the distance traversed by international interactions, the proportion that take place within regions, and their concentration. DHL Global Connectedness Index Methodology 74 Chapter 5 explains how the DHL Global Connectedness Index was constructed and what aspects of connectedness it covers. It also summarizes the rationales for key methodological decisions and highlights distinctive features of this index in comparison to other established globalization indexes. Distinctive Features of the DHL Global Connectedness Index 85 II. Visualizing Global Connectedness 88 Part II displays the results of our collaboration with data visualization experts Dr. Rahul C. Basole and Hyunwoo Park on circular and cartographic visualizations of global trade, capital, information, and people flows. The visualizations are based on the same dataset as the index, and complement the more traditional presentation of results using text, tables, and charts in the main body of the report. III. Country Profiles 124 Part III provides a set of country profiles that include detailed data on each country’s connectedness pattern, track country-level connectedness trends, and display custom rooted maps based on countries’ export patterns. Data on countries’ structural and policy drivers of connectedness are also displayed at the bottom of each profile. A Appendix A – Historical and Pillar Level Scores and Ranks 269 Reference tables covering 2005–2013 scores and ranks and pillar level connectedness charts. Appendix B – Data Sources, Regression Results, Region Classifications 280 A complete list of data sources along with selected regression results, technical notes, and a list of countries classified into regions.
