The Asymmetries of Globalization (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Yotopoulos, Pan; Romano, Donato

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book deals with the 'what' and 'how' but primarily with 'why' globalization most often has negative outcomes for developing countries. It breaks new ground in approaching globalization not only as trade commodities, but also as trade in positional goods ('decommodified trade.')
