Globalization hype has obscured a few basic truths-that political stability and economic growth are usually determined on the local level,and that they're most affected by local institutions, local ledarship,and other such factors.Tha Kimchi Matters shows that globalization (and events like the Iraq war and the September 11 atacks) makes understanding the political economies of distant countries more important than ever.It analyzes the fifteen main principles of how countries work,providing a powerful,intuitive framework for understanding international developments.Doing globalization right means understanding the kimchi-the unique local dynamics of a particular country or region.This truth holds for companies,policymakers,small investors,voters,and everyone whose lives and finances are affected by worl events.
