Why do countries play games with no rules?
Dr Suresh George
4th June
1-2pm
Birmingham and Online
This sessions aims to examine why countries play geopolitical games with no rules. Using the resource-based view of the ‘state’ (RBS) framework, we examine how countries create strategic intent and strategic markets for its firms to compete in. The session will also briefly review the new ‘great game’ where states create sources of new intangible resources that may insulate national interest firms from competition in specific markets.
