Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject we will analyse the complex process of globalisation and investigate different economic factors that shape the environment in which businesses operate and nations interact. In an increasingly globalised economy, trade and investment decisions, made by virtually any country, may have repercussions in businesses around the world. Public debates continuously arise in relation to this ever-changing economic environment, and we need to be ready to become active participants in this change. In this subject we will examine the economic foundations behind the decisions made by nations and firms in relation to trade and investment. You will analyse real cases and explore questions such as, what are the gains from free trade and foreign investment? What determines what countries trade or where countries invest? Are there winners and losers from international trade? What are the trade policies that benefit my business or the country as a whole?
