We model global trade as a multi-layer network and study its power structure by investigating the tendency of eigenvector centrality to concentrate on a small fraction of countries, a phenomenon called localization transition. We show that the market underwent a significant drop in power concentration precisely in 2007 just before the global financial crisis. That year marked an inflection point at which new winners and losers emerged and a remarkable reversal of leading role took place between the two major economies, the US and China. We uncover the hierarchical structure of global trade and the contribution of individual industries to variations in countries’ economic dominance. We also examine the crucial role that domestic trade played in leading China to overtake the US as the world’s dominant trading nation. There is an important lesson that countries can draw on how to turn early signals of upcoming downturns into opportunities for growth. Our study shows that, despite the hardships they inflict, shocks to the economy can also be seen as strategic windows countries can seize to become leading nations and leapfrog other economies in a changing geopolitical landscape. 000118267 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-20R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIN-AEI-FEDER/PID2020-115800GB-I00 000118267 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000118267 590__ $$a4.6$$b2022 000118267 592__ $$a0.973$$b2022 000118267 591__ $$aMULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENCES$$b22 / 73 = 0.301$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT1 000118267 593__ $$aMultidisciplinary$$c2022$$dQ1 000118267 594__ $$a7.5$$b2022 000118267 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000118267 700__ $$aMangioni, G. 000118267 700__ $$aRodrigues, F.A. 000118267 700__ $$aPanzarasa, P. 000118267 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-0895-1893$$aMoreno, Y.$$uUniversidad de Zaragoza 000118267 7102_ $$12004$$2405$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
