framework 1 INTRODUCTION While much emphasised in the literature on international politics (Brucan, 1978; Dougherty & Pfaltzgraff, 1990; Reynolds, 1980), the term ‘geopolitics’ is used sporadically, however, by the economic historians to explain international economic relations (e.g. Gordon, A., 1993; Gordon, S., 1993; Quraishi, 1996). In the international business literature specifically, Dunning (1977; 1979; 1986; 1988; 1995; 1998) for example, in explaining the location of international

The greatest challenge for creating an East Asian community is that East Asian countries are very diverse and varied in religion, culture, language, history, economic systems and levels of economic and social development such as trade openess, GDP per capita. China’s vast size and unbalanced development levels between its internal regions with their respective levels of industrial stages and comparative advantages enable China to cooperate efficinelty with different countries in the region and

the much needed growth would be favoured by a globalised economy. But it is only in the last 20 years that things have evolved rapidly and the bipolar world dominated by USA, Europe and Japan has become the multi-polar world with many centers of economic power and activity. I) The features of globalisation 1) It has been boosted by the development of information and communication technologies as well as transport. 2) The liberalisation of trade is said to be the engine of globalisation, which

nationalised industries for privatisation, was associated with marked improvements in performance, particularly in terms of labour productivity.[92] But it is not clear how far this can be attributed to the merits of privatisation itself. The "productivity miracle" observed in British industry under Thatcher was achieved not so much by increasing the overall productivity of labour as by reducing workforces and increasing unemployment.[93] A number of the privatised industries, such as gas, water and

ageing on the society’s socio-economic conditions may be amplified by the speed with which it occurs, it is important to consider not only the degree but also the pace of the changes in the age structure. When the proportion of older persons in the total population increases dramatically in a short period of time, as is currently occurring in some countries in both the more developed and the less developed regions, it becomes particularly difficult for the social and economic institutions to adjust.

How do you account for the rise of China as an emergent economic power? Over the least three decades China made Asia and more generally of the world envious. Indeed, it is the fastest growing economy in the world with and expansion averaging 10% a year. As a result, its GDP in 2006 was around 13 times more important than its level in the early eighties. Thus, today China’s economy is becoming the fourth largest in the world behind the USA, Japan’s and Germany. China is one of the most competitive

In the article “Labour are now the reactionaries, we the radicals”, the Conservative party leader, David Cameron, is trying to reach out The Guardian readers, traditionally Labour voters, to join him in the development of progressive society. He characterises the government of Gordon Brown as a centralised command and control style, autocratic government, which drives unpopular policies like the adoption of identity cards, against the long standing liberal ideas and the instincts of the majority
