Ideology and national competitiveness
Article Abstract:
Ideologies influence nations in determining and achieving their goals. Thus, nations base their schemes on their prevailing ideology to address issues in areas such as business and government. Nations which practice communitarian ideologies seem to be more competitive in world economy than those who promote individualism. These competitive nations, mostly Eastern, exert pressure on the individualistic Western nations to alter their ideological base but the latter are still wary of change. The latter may not be prepared to give up individual autonomy in exchange for economic progress.
