One of the most significant developments in the world economy since World War II has been the growth of activities of multinational companies. The spread and scale of such activities give rise to profound economic, social and political changes on a global scale, as well as to considerable unease in relation to their effects and to the overall power of multinational companies. This book examines the major trends of internationalization, including changes in patterns of foreign direct investment and international trade, the growth of export processing zones, international sub-contracting and joint ventures. After providing a complete analysis of the main theories of international production, the author goes on to consider its effects on, among other things, trade, labour, de-industrialization and technology. She also includes a discussion of methodological issues, as well as an empirical assessment of multinational domination of major developed countries.
