Summary
"Sara Schoonmaker uses the example of the computer technology industry to delve into one of the key political conflicts of our time: the construction of a free-trade regime determined to open markets around the world to global capital, and attempts by Latin American, African, and other governments to resist the process." "Presenting a multidimensional view of the globalization process, High-Tech Trade Wars focuses on Brazil's attempt to develop a local computer industry through development policy and the conflict between the United States and Brazilian governments over the U.S. movement to block such efforts."--Jacket
