Rezensionen

'Based on empirical research in the region, this book provides us with valuable new insights about the organisation of business interests in Mercosur countries informed by relevant theoretical frameworks.'

- Professor Wyn Grant, University of Warwick, UK

'In Globalization, Regionalization and Business Schelhase provides a compelling analysis of a topic that will be a critical component of policy and academic analysis in the years ahead. The world business environment is being redefined by the emergence of new actors and new 'paradigms' where inter-linkages between regional and global markets on the one hand will become increasingly complex, as will the interface between business especially emerging regional/global businesses in emerging markets and governments on the other. The detailed and original empirical work the author brings to the Mercosur, a key region of the 21st century world economy, carries broader theoretical and policy implications. This book is a very effective compass in navigating the turbulent and uncharted waters of the 21st century world economy.'
