This authoritative book examines the power of multinational
corporations (MNCs) to exert influence in global politics. Focusing
on the actions and motivations of MNCs, it explores how they
attempt to shape the political issues that affect them. Combining
theoretical perspectives with analyses of enlightening case
studies, the contributors consider key areas in which MNCs seek to
exert political influence such as environmental sustainability,
social conflicts and corporate tax avoidance, as well as in
specific industries including mining, shipping and consulting. They
also illustrate the mechanisms used by MNCs to exert influence in a
wide range of policy fields at multiple territorial levels,
discussing how they interact with states, intergovernmental
organizations and civil society, as well as how they coordinate
their activities with other parts of the business community. The
book concludes that MNCs enjoy certain basic privileges in society
and politics due to their preponderant economic position and their
key role in the processes of globalization, but action is necessary
to sustain this role. MNCs in Global Politics will be critical
reading for academics and students of politics, international
relations and political economy, particularly those with an
interest in globalization and governance. Its exploration of
specific case studies will also be beneficial for policy-makers.
