This book brings a completely new dimension into the study of determinants of international trade and foreign direct investment in the Central and Eastern European countries that recently joined the European Union. The main aim of the book is to shed a new light on the role of human development in the open economy context. The book challenges the conventional view that a country’s success in the global economy is contingent on restricting expenditures on human development. On the contrary, it is argued that improvements in educational and healthcare systems stimulate international trade and direct investment, while the role of income and gender equality and degree of civil liberties is less clear-cut. The book offers an optimal blend of theory and empirical analysis with practical policy implications.

Presented as concise introduction to the study of film, this text by Villarejo (film, Cornell U.), offers separate chapters on the language of film, the history of film, the production and exhibition of film, and the future of film. It adopts an international focus and interweaves the theme of the impact of new technology throughout. Key words are bolded within the text so that students can turn to the glossary and obtain concise definitions. This second edition has been revised and includes new illustrations and examples in order to bring the text up-to-date. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
