Prime Minister Cameron Says Europe Needs to Seize "Re-Shoring" Opportunities
Making a success of globalization is a key challenge for European politicians and business leaders
Jobs previously offshored are slowing coming back, "re-shoring", from East to West
Europe needs cheap and predictable sources of energy, including shale gas, to seize the opportunities presented by re-shoring
The theme of the 44th World Economic Forum Annual Meeting is, The Reshaping of the World: Consequences for Society, Politics and Business
January 24, 2014-- Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron told participants at the World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting that the key challenge for politicians and business leaders in Europe is how to make a success of globalization.
An emerging trend to accomplish this is "re-shoring" jobs, he said. "There is a chance for Britain to become the re-shore nation. Europe needs to act now to seize the opportunities of re-shoring." He said that a major driver of this trend will be the development of shale gas.
For years, the West has been "written off" and rumours abound that it is facing inevitable decline. "It is the same dystopian vision. The East wins while the West loses; the workers lose while the machines win," Cameron said. "I don’t believe it has to be this way."
