Democracy continues to spread throughout developing nations, yet some countries continue to rule under monarchies, communism, and other forms of government. As technology has continued to advance, the ongoing discovery of previously inaccessible minerals and other natural resources continues in developing nations, providing opportunities for significant economic changes within a country. So how does an organization that is considering expanding into the international market gain an understanding of the macropolitical and macroeconomic factors that may influence their decision on which markets to enter? Please take note of the aforementioned bullets as you select external/scholarly sources for this assignment. Tasks: Write a 2-3-page paper describing both of your country’s existing political, cultural, and economic environments. You must utilize at least three scholarly sources. It is highly recommended that you utilize the Excelsior College library to conduct your research. Your paper should be 2-3 pages long with a minimum of two references in a double-spaced document using 12 pt. Times New Roman font, utilizing APA format.
