Editorial Reviews

Buckley (international business, U. of Leeds) examines the interdependency of international business strategy and government policy, emphasizing foreign direct investment and international alliances. He then focuses on the economies of Japan and Vietnam, and explores the role of trade blocs in the world economy and the ramifications of the growth of supranational groupings.
