International Economy and Sustainable Development

Dear Colleagues,

The aim of the Topic Collection entitled “International Economy and Sustainable Development” is to gather a series of contributions that explore the area of sustainable development from an international perspective. The international arena is changing rapidly, therefore requiring new studies aiming to understand how individual countries or groups of countries can maintain their position in a vast number of domains of economic activity and can develop strategies when taking a structural perspective about future outcomes. However, countries participate in a myriad of international flows involving goods, capital, migrations, tourism, and information, among other aspects. Concerning these issues, it is necessary to define national strategies and manage the relation with other countries.

The topics we suggest for this topic collection are as follows:

• International economy through the lens of an interdisciplinary perspective;
• The role of global, regional, and corporate aspects in sustainable development;
• Competitiveness in the context of sustainable development;
• Migrations and sustainable development;
• Trade and foreign direct investment;
• Trade policies in the context of sustainable development;
• Economic agreements in the context of sustainable development;
• Sustainable development goals and inclusive development;
• Development paths in the light of selected sustainable development goals;
• Emerging countries in the international arena and SDGs: challenges and opportunities;
• Transformative supply chains within a sustainable economy;
• Developing new production strategies in a fast-changing business environment;
• The role of international organizations in the context of sustainable development.
