International trade has created a highly interdependent world.
Everyday products - such as phones, trainers or cars - are
designed, manufactured and assembled across several different
countries, by countless different companies, both large and small,
involving millions of people of all nationalities, creeds and
cultures. We take much of this creativity and competition for
granted. But it wouldn't be possible without the peaceful
collaboration of millions of people around the planet - a
much-overlooked aspect of globalisation. Yet some politicians -
perhaps bound by electoral concerns - often take a narrower view,
claiming globalisation leads to job losses, lower standards and
threats to security. An introduction to Trade & Globalisation
examines the tensions that inevitably arise alongside the many
benefits of trade. Author Eamonn Butler looks at the rapid growth
of international trade over the past 50 years, and how commerce and
international politics have become increasingly entwined. He
describes the fundamental and growing importance of trade and
globalisation in modern life - whilst also seeking to understand
the opposition to it. And, at the same time, he skilfully provides
a straightforward, insightful and essential introduction to the
principles, economics, and politics of international trade - one of
the key developments of the modern era.
