Summary/Abstract: Technological breakthroughs, geopolitical realignments, and shifting consumer tastes have all contributed to a radical change in the environment of global trade networks in recent years. A new geography of international trade has emerged as a result of the reshaping of traditional trade routes and patterns. The purpose of this scholarly paper is to examine and assess the major elements that have contributed to the formation of the new global trade network geography. The goal is to provide light on the changing nature of international commerce and the consequences it has for scholars, corporations, and governments by comprehending the underlying processes.A thorough study approach that combined case studies, literature reviews, and quantitative data analysis was used. The reconfiguration of global trade networks was influenced by infrastructural advances, geopolitical events, and trade data from key economies. These factors were investigated to find patterns and trends.There has been a noticeable change in the trade routes, with developing economies taking on a more significant role. The emergence of new trade corridors has been aided by developments in infrastructure, logistics, and digital connection, posing challenges to conventional routes. The reorganization holds noteworthy consequences for tactics related to supply chains and market entry.The results highlight how critical it is to adjust to how international trade is changing. To take advantage of new possibilities and minimize risks, businesses and politicians must understand and manage the new terrain. Understanding the mechanics of this transition is essential for promoting sustainable economic growth and developing international collaboration as established centers of business give way to new participants.
