Description
Book SynopsisThe Struggle for World Markets examines the pattern of deepening integration and imbalances across the Atlantic as the European Union and North America are increasingly linked through high volume trade and expanding transnational production.
Distinguished authors examine in detail structural policy issues, foreign direct investment flows, free trade options and the evolution of collaborative arangements between firms, especially in high technology sectors. The volume explores the possibility of promoting greater links between the European Union and North America.
