ABSTRACT

Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in international production worldwide, accompanied by considerable changes in its geographical structure. This volume examines the role of transnational corporations (TNCs) in the geography of international production, covering both theoretical and empirical aspects, and drawing conclusions for future policy-making.
This work will be essential to scholars, policy-makers and professionals in the areas of international business strategy, international economics and political science.
