The Kimchi Matters

"In order to 'do globalization better,' business leaders need to recognize the importance of local political dynamics. . . . The three authors . . . [provide] the big picture on this complex issue."-Publishers Weekly

Ted Koppel called it "a 'must-read' for all the architects of American policy, those who seek to replace them, and all Americans who will have to deal with the consequences of their policies." Wesley Clark called it "the best account yet of the difficulties facing conventional approaches to economic development around the world."

In The Kimchi Matters, authors Zonis, Lefkovitz and Wilkin show that globalization (and events like the Iraq war and the September 11 attacks) makes understanding the political economies of distant countries more important than ever.
