Responding To Globalisation (routledge Advances In International Political Economy)

Responding to Globalization The new challenges and opportunities created by the spread of globalization have reshaped both institutional and individual responses to this phenomenon. This comprehensive analysis of the way in which governments and firms have responded to globalization examines closely the options available to both, and the historical and institutional contexts to the strategic decisions made. Responding to Globalization draws together a panel of international experts in a conceptually rigorous examination of the profound impact of globalization. Subjects covered include: • The international monetary system after the euro • The response of the Japanese software industry to globalization • The dynamics of globalization strategy in South Korea • Australian integration into the global economy • The impact on China and Russia in their move towards a market economy • Institutional transitions in Yugoslavia and Bulgaria • Latin American corporate strategies This rigorous survey focuses on political, ideational and economic factors lying behind these responses to globalization. It is essential reading for all those interested in globalization, international business and international political economy.
