In this insightful book, Bernadette Andreosso-O'Callaghan and Daniel Rajmil bring together a diverse range of experts to explore how the uncertainties of the geopolitical and geo-economic sphere are being dealt with in international business. They question the suitability of existing policy and institutional responses, and advocate for a novel approach to the delineation of our future world. Deploying a comparative Europe-Asia framework, this book analyses various political and economic crises in terms of monetary instability, high inflation and reorganisation of governance. Contributions span Asia, Europe and North America, using a number of case studies to critically examine firms' responses to economic and geopolitical uncertainty, including foreign direct investment by Chinese companies and Japanese 'new capitalism'. Ultimately, the book assesses how economic policies of different countries interrelate, detailing the asymmetrical interdependencies of the EU, Sino-American rivalries, and Sino-Japanese cooperation. 'Geopolitical uncertainty and international business' is a fundamental read for students and scholars of comparative economics, political geography and geopolitics. It will also appeal to managers and policymakers who are involved in international business and economics.
