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.
'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
