Principal Examiner, Charles Smith, has produced an excellent new book which now covers the important issue of globalisation in far more detail. This book deals with all the important areas which are examined at AS and A2 by each of the boards.
This 88 page book consists of 17 chapters which all seek to answer a particular question. The full contents is as follows:
| What is International Trade? | Globalisation - who needs it? |
| Why does trade take place? | What are the choices in trade policy? |
| What is happening to the UK balance of payments? | Free trade, good, protection, bad? |
| How is trade affected by demand-side policy? | Globalisation and inward investment - false friends? |
| How is trade affected by supply-side policy? | Why are some countries in debt? |
| Why are exchange-rates important? | Why is trade better than aid? |
| Should Britain join the Euro? | Market foces or government action? |
| Globalisation - what is it? | Why is everyone talking about China? |
| | Where are we going? |
"The coverage is excellent, looking at both the theory and practice of international trade and providing some very perceptive insights into the current debate about globalisation... this latest edition will prove useful and thought-provoking."
