LEVELS OF GLOBALIZATION AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA COMPARED TO THE COUNTRIES IN THE REGION

, ,

Abstract:  This paper will examine the level of globalization and competitiveness of the Republic of Serbia compared to other countries in the region. Within the region we encompassed the most countries of Central Europe and the Balkan countries. We will use the KOF Index of Globalization and Global Competitiveness Index for data collection and comparison between countries. Our goal is to point out some advantages and disadvantages of the countries covered by the survey. The main hypothesis that we tested is whether the higher level of globalization necessarily leads to a higher level of competitiveness of the country. Then we will concentrate on the Republic of Serbia, analyze its main advantages and disadvantages, position in relation to other countries and finally give specific suggestions on how this position can be improved.

Keywords:  globalization, competitiveness, The Republic of Serbia, Central Europe, Balkan countries.
