This book examines how multinational enterprises and international
finance influenced the course of electrification around the world.
Multinational enterprises played a crucial role in the spread of
electric light and power from the 1870s through the first three
decades of the twentieth century. However, their role did not
persist, and by 1978 multinational enterprises in this sector had
all but disappeared, replaced by electrical utility providers with
national business structures. Yet, in recent years, there has been
a vigorous revival. This book, a co-operative effort by the three
authors and a group of experts from many countries, offers an
analysis of the history of multinational enterprise. The authors
take an integrated approach, not simply comparing national
electrification experiences, but supplying a truly global account.
