Description
This volume contains cases developed for use in teaching international political economy at the Harvard Business School. The cases represent the major developmental trajectories that have defined the recent history of economic growth. These cases empirically describe the strategies of China, India, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, Poland, the Czech Republic, Europe, and the United States. The cases are as much political and institutional as they are economic and are based on Harvard's way of teaching analytical methodology for managers. Each one uses "country analysis" - a method of identifying the economic performance, social and political context, and national development strategy of a country or region.
