Transnational Corporations and the Global Economy - by Richard Kozul-Wright & Robert Rowthorn (Hardcover)

About the Book

"The Poetics of Novels" deals with the fundamentals of novel-writing and the execution of such, and though it engages specific notions of literary and cultural theory, it privledges the architectonics of the texts themselves as it crosses boundaries of both time and culture.

Book Synopsis

This book brings together papers written by representatives from UN agencies and academics who take a fresh look at the expanding role of transnational corporations and foreign direct investment in the world economy. These papers deal with such issues as the nature and extent of globalisation, the shifting relations between transnational corporations and national economies, and the opportunities and obstacles facing policy makers in the rapidly changing global economy.

Review Quotes

'This is a timely volume, the contents of which offer a welcome and thought provoking perspective on the interaction between the globalising economy and transnational (or multinational) corporations...well researched and incisively written. I enjoyed, and benefited from, the book immensely...This is a volume which covers a lot of ground and deserves to be widely read. It pinpoints a whole set of important issues which are likely to confront politicians, academic scholars and business leaders over the next half century or more.' - John H. Dunning, The Journal of Development Studies
