These economic essays elucidate phenomena of global transformation, unresolved transition problems and challenging uncertainties we observe throughout the global economy. Broad issues of theory and policy are tackled as the writers are stimulated by the new analytical puzzles into developing our conceptual and theoretical understanding of these phenomena. This book consists of contributions from thirty-one economists and social scientists from the US, Europe and Australia. The main interests of the authors lie in various branches of international economics and development studies, and all the authors share an aspiration to understand the behaviour of the major private and public enterprises, statesand international groupings.
