critically evaluate the specific benefits that countries seek by joining an economic bloc. To support your argument assess the main economic bloc for one of the MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria or Turkey). From your perspective, what advantages has bloc membership brought in the country? How does membership to the economic integration initiative impact upon the competitive position of the firms from this country?
