Description
Appropriate for undergraduate courses in Economic Geography, International Trade, International Business, International Marketing, and International Development.
Provides a sound theoretical and practical foundation for understanding the global economy in an era of shifting borders, restructuring economies, and regional realignments. Providing the most thorough treatment of the world economy and economic geography available, the text covers population, natural resources, and international trade and development. It combines economic theory with geography in addressing critical problems of growth, distribution, and development, and to explain their impact on international business. Recent geopolitical changes are vividly portrayed in a series of superb full color maps and striking photographs. Uses real-world examples to make abstract concepts understandable. The book provides a global perspective on international business through a pragmatic world view.
