ISBN: 9780821347423 / Angielski / Miękka / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since 1985, national economies have become increasingly integrated into a global network.

Globalization is expected to continue leading to greater openness and international mobility of capital and people. There are few reasons to believe that these trends will abate if anything, they are likely to intensify the focus on cities and sharpen competition among these...

ISBN: 9783790826227 / Angielski / Twarda / 219 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Is small still beautiful?
