Description and Table of Contents
Description
Appropriate for undergraduate courses in Economic Geography, International Trade, International Business, International Marketing, and International Development.
This comprehensive and up-to-date volume covers contemporary topics - and perspectives. This text provides a sound theoretical and practical foundation for understanding the global economy in an era of shifting borders, restructuring economies, and regional realignments. The authors combine economic theory with geography in addressing critical problems of growth, distribution, and development, and explain their impact on international business. Recent geopolitical changes are vividly portrayed in a series of superb full color maps and striking photographs. Real-world examples make abstract concepts understandable.
