Global supply chains are the backbone of modern economies, enabling the efficient movement of goods, services, and capital across borders. However, recent events—such as the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and climate-related disasters—have revealed their vulnerability. This article examines how disruptions in global supply chains impact economic security on national and individual levels. Using a mixed-methods approach, it analyzes key disruptions, their ripple effects on production, inflation, and employment, and outlines strategic policy responses. The findings emphasize the need for more resilient and diversified supply chains to safeguard long-term economic stability.
