DESCRIPTION
This module studies the role played by multinational firms in the global trading system. The course divides into two parts. The first half is concerned with the global trading system, both the theories of how and why countries engage in trade and the role played by governments, regional trading agreements and international institutions in the regulation of trade. The second half is concerned with multinational companies, examining the growth of multinationals, the theories advanced to explain the growth of multinationals and the effects of multinationals on the countries where they operate. The module is designed to complement other modules available on the International Business Economics pathway, such as Global Financial Systems, the Economics of the European Union and Comparative Labour Markets.
