No, I don’t think so. The last few years have been no more than a speed bump in the 100 year trend of increased global interconnection.

"Global interconnection" is not the same thing as "globalization". In many ways they're actually opposed. With globalization comes increased strength of patent and copyright laws and much more control over what crosses what borders
