Globalization and the Third World (eBook, PDF)

A Study of Negative Consequences
Redaktion: Ghosh, B.; Guven, H.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The impact of globalization on the world's developing economies is not conclusive: studies show conflicting conclusions to the same problems in the context of globalization in developing countries. It is this analytical inconclusiveness that is at the heart of this collection, which makes a fresh attempt to study the real impact of globalization.
