Material sovereignty and the Robert Lighthizer doctrine

The article analyzes the transition from naive globalization to the era of material sovereignty based on the Robert Lighthizer doctrine. Trade ceases to be a tool for peace and becomes an instrument of conflict and security (securitization). The author points to the phenomenon of layered fragmentation, in which the economy is divided into banal, sensitive, and strategic sectors. Strategic decoupling scenarios are presented: from hard technological severance (AI, semiconductors) and the regionalization of resilience (friendshoring, nearshoring), to the selective maintenance of interdependence in low-risk areas. The key conclusion is the necessity of building strategic autonomy and linking regionalization with real added value and Common Ground Economics standards to avoid repeating the mistakes of the old outsourcing model.
