At the same time, the opposing forces of nationalism have pushed international enterprises to achieve business goals in regional partnerships with smaller, likeminded local businesses. For the most efficient operations, best user experiences, and optimized costs, logistics companies need to align all supply chain agents, including

shippers who help logistics companies compete on global markets. According to “Eye for Transport” analysis, 60% of the top 500 European logistics companies work with at least one third party logistics provider.
AsstrA Forms IT Investment
AsstrA-Associated Traffic AG is a good example of a multinational transport and logistics firm that takes a global approach to doing business locally. From an operational headquarters founded in Switzerland in the late 90’s, the company now oversees 16 operational centers and 8 customs agencies in a number of locations across Europe and Asia and collaborates with shippers in more than 60 countries around the world. Over the last 24 years, AsstrA logistics managers have prospered through significant changes on many fronts: business, economic, military, legislative, technological, and geopolitical – which now include globalization and the rise of nationalism.

On the other hand, fierce competition on a global playing field tends to favor bigger logistics market players with deeper pockets who can monopolize local markets and cause small and medium sized transport and logistics companies to face difficult conditions often contributing to the rise of anti-globalist economic sentiments. Any resulting protectionist political measures typically lead to regionalization in the logistics market. The formation of blocs of countries with similar economic interests enables local companies to develop within the region with less relative investment in international marketing and human

Political scientists also see anti-globalization policies as potentially reducing the economic and social inequality of growth in different regions of the world (the West, emerging markets, CIS, BRICS).
