About This Book
Global Business and Local Politics in a Crisis-Driven World
From renowned international business expert Marvin Zonis: a
penetrating analysis that cuts through the fog of polemic and
misperception surrounding globalization and returns our attention to the
issues that should really matter to everyone concerned about
international business, economics, and politics.
"Globalization is perhaps the defining international business and
political story of the past two decades, so big, in fact, that many
other stories were overlooked: why some countries succeed in achieving
stability; why others fail; and why it matters. An ironic side-effect of
globalization is that these relatively small, local -stories_the budget
policies of Argentina, the corruption of Indonesia, the stability of
Saudi Arabia, among many, many others_matter more than ever before. They
are played out in distant countries, but with the click of a mouse or
the boarding of a plane their effects are transmitted around the
globe.For the uninitiated, kimchi is the unofficial Korean national
dish: unassuming cabbage soaked in chilis, -garlic, and ginger until
pungent, fiery, and blood-red in color. To be sure, kimchi has its
charms; but for today, at least, it remains a very local dish. Today,
almost everyone eats Big Macs (one hundred twenty-one countries at last
count), which is unprecedented, amazing, revolutionary: in short, the
"big story" of globalization. But one lesson of September 11 is that the
small stories, of national politics, regional economics, and local
struggles, cannot be overlooked. Everyone eats Big Macs; but the kimchi
matters. This is a book about the kimchi."
