Innovation and Technological Catch-Up: The Changing Geography of Wine Production
ISBN: 9781848449947 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since the beginning of the 1990s, the supremacy of 'Old World' countries (France and Italy) in the international wine market has been challenged by new players, such as Australia, Argentina, Chile and South Africa, which are recording stunning performances in terms both of export volume and value.

Agriculture in the New Global Economy
ISBN: 9781843766780 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agriculture in the New Global Economy examines the extent to which the political economy of the food chain is being transformed by globalisation.
