Abstract

Inside Washington: Government Resources for International Business is a comprehensive, yet user-friendly, resource for navigating the products and services of various U.S. and foreign government agencies, as well as multilateral organizations including the International Finance Corporation and Inter-American Development Bank. The book’s target audience includes international business executives and public-sector officials. The book is organized the way businesspeople think—by product rather than by agency.
