This is an article about international team building, particularly from a British perspective. Such topics as language, awareness, intellectual style, the use of dos and don'ts and above all intercultural competence are looked into, in order to optimize teamwork and avoid misunderstandings. International teams may be more complex and require more sensitivity but they can also achieve goals beyond the reach of monocultural teams.

Australia & some European countries experienced economic "miracles" in the 1990s that reversed prior poor export, employment, & fiscal performance. The miracles might provide transferable lessons about economic governance if it were true that economic governance institutions are malleable, & that actors deliberately changed those institutions in ways that contributed to the miracles. This paper analyzes Australian policy responses to see whether remediation should be attributed to pluck (intentional, strategic remediation of dysfunctional institutions to make them conform with the external environment), luck (environmental change that makes formerly dysfunctional institutions suddenly functional), or just being stuck (endogenous or path-dependent change that brings institutions into conformity with the environment). These distinctions help establish whether actors can consciously engineer institutional change that is "off-path." While pluck appears to explain more than either stuck or luck in the Australian case, the analysis suggests that both off-path behavior & policy transfer are probably rare.
