DESCRIPTION:

Competitiveness is decreasingly a result merely of the differences in prices of individual products. Analyses of export results in developed countries show that success is connected less with specialization and more with the general efficiency of the entire economy. The focus of competitiveness has shifted from prices to technology, quality, design, delivery timeframes and financial support of export programs. In other words, to an integral competitiveness of the modern economy. This course will show the role of an active and efficient development interventionism, particularly in successful examples of structural adjustment. Croatian economic system plays an important role in determining whether or not the entire developmental path proves harmful. The new global economy, with its integration and competitiveness, provides ample visible examples of economic success. The objective of this course is to study the most developed economies as well as their interaction with the most important multilateral organizations in the post-hegemonic global economy. Multilateral organizations such as the WTO (as well as the IMF and the World Bank) are best understood in their international political context, shaped in large part by the most developed economies. Confirmation of these assumptions is crucial for the analysis of Croatia's position in international economic relations.
