Globalisation, the increasing integration of markets and ideas across borders throughout the world, has redefined how economies function, how societies interact, and how nations confront shared challenges. Recognising these profound transformations, this book attempts to bridge the divide between economics and economies as well as the gap between theories and policies. Complete with case studies, lecture slides, test questions, and sample data/codes, the book is an engaging resource for upper undergraduates and postgraduate economics students alike.
