ISBN: 9780415607421 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Political Conflict and Economic Interdependence Across the Taiwan Strait and Beyond
ISBN: 9780804762038 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book addresses that gap, and demonstrates that the impact of international political conflict on commerce will be muted when national leaders are...
