Through a case study of the semiconductor production crisis in the period from 2020 to 2022, the work examines the main challenges of globalization processes in a world that is
interconnected, interdependent and subject to remote impact. The global crisis, which affected both industry and the world during this period, affected more than 160 countries. The case study deals with one of the most advanced technological achievements of modern times. It is the core of microprocessor chips and represents a key component of all electronic devices – the semiconductor. The manufacturing process is highly fragmented and monopolized, and any deviation within the process brings global challenges to supply chains, technology industries, international markets and the economy, as well as national and national policy-making. This crisis is a reflection of a globalised economy in which actors are increasingly interdependent as a result of the increased volume of international trade in goods, services and labour. This work also adresses the flow of international capital and the rapid spread of new technologies with lower production prices and a large supply.
