Rodolphe Desbordes explores "The major challenges of globalisation" in his latest book
In an era where globalisation is increasingly questioned, Rodolphe Desbordes, professor of economics and the director of the MSc International Business at SKEMA Business School, has offered a lucid analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with commercial integration in his latest work. Titled "Les grands enjeux de la mondialisation" (The major challenges of globalisation), the book, prefaced by Emmanuel Combe, also a professor of economics at SKEMA, has been published by Ellipses Editions. This manual presents itself as an essential resource for anyone interested in the dynamics of international trade and its repercussions on our daily lives.
With an accessible yet thorough writing style, Rodolphe Desbordes has addressed twelve critical themes that define the landscape of commercial globalisation. From the fundamental question of why nations trade goods and services, to the mutual benefits arising from these exchanges, the author guides us through the mechanisms that stimulate global economic development. Furthermore, he sheds light on the challenges and tensions generated by this globalisation, such as income inequalities, the rise of nationalism, interstate conflicts, the impact on the climate, and the overexploitation of natural resources.
An educational approach
This manual aims to be both accessible and rigorous. It stands out not only for its educational approach, structuring each theme around key notions and main issues, but also includes graphic illustrations that reflect the results of the latest academic studies. A carefully selected bibliography invites the reader to deepen their understanding of the subjects addressed.
Available as a digital version for €16.99 and in the print format for €19.50, this work is a valuable addition to any library conscious of the contemporary issues of our globalised world.
