More than a decade into the new millennium, the fusion of
corporate and state power is the essential defining feature of US
foreign policy. This edited volume critically examines the
relationship between corporations and the US state in the
development of foreign policies related to globalization.
Drawing together a wide range of contributors, this work
explores the role of corporations in using US foreign policies to
advance the interests of transnational capital in a wide range of
contexts, including:
- how US government policies have contributed to the
globalization of production and finance
- the ways in which transnational corporations have influenced
the US relationship with China, a crucial linkage in the new era of
transnational accumulation
- how transnational corporate power has shaped capital-labour
relations, humanitarian intervention, structural adjustment
policies, low-intensity democracy and the G20 summits
- the "corporate centrism" of the Obama Administration, whose
policies have been consistent with the growing power of
transnational capital in US foreign policymaking
- the politics and consequences of the embedded relationship
between various sectors of the transnational capitalist class,
global institutions and the US state, including the limits and
contradictions of this relationship during the ongoing capitalist
crisis.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of
both US foreign policy and international political economy.
