This book provides a data-based approach to present and future
developments in the Muslim world. This is an unusual approach to
this topic that highlights important underlying forces in current
and projected future economic and social behaviour that range from
prices of gasoline to terrorism and related activities.
In the context of the rich histories of Muslim cultures, the
effects of rapid changes in economic and social trends are
examined, as well as the effect of Western policies which have
often exacerbated underlying tensions in these fast-growing
populations, extending to the trouble and hostilities that are
currently being manifested in proposed interpretations by al-Qaeda
and similar organizations. This volume also suggests an approach
that deals with the high illiteracy rates and inadequate education
facilities in many Muslim countries.
*New volume in the established ISETE series
*Focuses on the economics of the Muslim world, including hot topics
such as terrorism and oil-prices
Global competitiveness has always been a hotly debated issue,
promoting differing opinions among economists, management
strategists, business leaders, and policy analysts and consultants.
Global Economic Competition provides a broad framework to compare
the United States economy with 23 other global economies. This is
done by presenting empirical evidence in a series of comparative
analyses of economic competition using data pertaining to specific
countries, industries and companies. In this volume, the
electronics industries are used to illustrate an ongoing economic
warfare among competing regions, nations, and cluster companies
across the electronic technology chain. Employing the latest
empirical data to evaluate the competitiveness of the US economy
and its electronic industries and companies in the 1980s and early
1990s, Global Economic Competition will be of interest not only to
those who study economics, management science and international
trade, but also to policy makers and business leaders.
