The Economics of Globalization

This book is an introduction to the Economics of Globalization, which may well be considered as a novel discipline. As a matter of fact, it looks at the global economy not only through the eyes of developed countries – which is what International Economics, through its two components of International Trade and International Monetary Economics, can be depicted as  doing – but also through the eyes of developing countries – which is what Development Economics does. It also takes inspiration from Economic History, trying to learn as much as possible from it, but considering also the issues of international power and strategies addressed by International Political Economy and the role of multinational companies and FDIs through the lenses of International Business.
