| Description: |
Multinational enterprises do not regard all locations as being equivalent. Smaller economies and less-developed countries are not as attractive because of a limited market size or lack of proximity to other locations. This book focuses on how multinational activity to and from peripheral economies differs from their activity in core economies. |
| Synopsis: |
How do peripheral countries function in a globalising environment? And, how do multinational firms help create linkages and interdepencies with the core countries that dominate the new world order? These questions are addressed in this book which draws together insights from a variety of eminent scholars around the world. By focusing on the role of multinationals, the editors tackle the global core-periphery dichotomy which is concerned with explaining why some countries become marginalised politically, socially and economically, and others do not. |
