Objectives

Recognizing that liberalization of economies leads to economic growth, many governments throughout the world have been eager to embrace globalization. Generally this has led to higher rates of growth. Indeed, those countries which have avoided globalization have been the slowest growing group of economies. However, a growing number of individuals - many within the fastest growing economies, including the developed countries - are joining the protests against globalization. The objectives of the seminar are to examine the impact of globalization on labor and capital markets, on economic growth and other relevant aspects.

-Globalization and labor markets

-Financial business management at the global economy: The risks and benefits of foreign financial and foreign direct investments; globalization and the Multi-National Corporations.

    -The rules, agreements and institutions that govern trade and finance in                

      the world markets : the role and rules of the World Trade Organization  

      (WTO), Regional trade agreements, including the European Union (EU)

      and NAFTA.
