520 _aAfter eleven years of teaching International Economics in a variety of colleges at the University of Nebraska (Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Architecture), Hank van den Berg was ready to begin his own text. He was particularly interested in writing a book that would engage students more than the existing ones do, and appeal to the diverse audience he has taught (adult students, students from a variety of countries, students with a variety of academic interests). The book is arranged to make reading easy and enjoyable, with a list of important things each chapter seeks to teach, a summary at the end of the chapter, references for further reading on each of the topics covered, and end of chapter problems and questions. - The book takes an international view of issues, looking at them from the perspective of different countries. This gives students a much clearer and more balanced picture. - The topic of how globalization affects technological progress and economic growth is given much greater prominence than in any other international economics textbook. - Case studies are used throughout to show key concepts and issues, allowing students to see practical application.
