Preview International Economic Development: Leading Issues and Challenges
International Economic Development ‘The chapters in this book are well written, free from mathematical hassles and highly readable. It is a superb reference for policy makers, students and scholars in international economic development, globalization, political economy, economic history, interna- tional relations, global politics, public administration, technology and society.’ Yizheng Shi, Professor, School of Business, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong Written by experts in their respective areas, this book is an excellent review of theories, policies and empirical evidence on important topics in global economic development. It is both a superb teaching tool and a valuable handbook in development economics, compris- ing 13 articles on contemporary issues influencing world development. Issues covered range from the global financial crisis, the rise of China and the world economic order, multinational corporations, sweat factories and social responsibilities, to Japan’s nuclear meltdown and sustainable development. The book highlights the impacts of globalization on human well-being and examines the relationship between developed and developing economies in the global perspective. With case studies and illustrations, this book is an essential reader for undergraduate stu- dents in economic development, international development and development economics. It is also a great reference for more advanced students, as well as a very useful guide for policymakers and practitioners interested in recent advances in global development.
