Internationalization is an important trend in economics.
National borderlines set less and less bounds to financial markets, markets for goods and services and the labour market. In Europe this process is reinforced by the start of the Economic and Moneatry Union. As a consequence, private as well as public organizations are more and more becoming players on a global field. Location, financing, and production choices of firms are increasingly made at a multinational level and international bureaucracy, especially in Brussels, gains in size and influence. Therefore, employers are in need of economists who can tackle the international aspects of various problems in a profesional manner.
