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.
'I found Chapter 8 on international production in the context of the 'new' trade theories illuminating and instructive. This chapter provides an excellent and readable discussion of the new theories and their implications for international investment and is to be recommended to students of trade and investment.' - The Business Economist
'Ietto-Gillies's publication represents an interesting and compelling treatment of the dominant role of transnational companies (TNC's) in the globisation process and the configuration of a new world division of labour ... One of the most appealing aspects of Ietto Gillies's book is that she is ambitious in effectively intergrating both economic, institutional and political theories from a broad set of what have often been largely disparate literatures to conceptualise her analysis of TNC's.' - Global Business and Economics Review
'This remarkable book represents an essential, detailed and highly readable contribution to the study of transnational corporations (TNCs) and globalization processes.' - Simona Iammarino, Transnational Corporations
'Written in an accessible and competent language, informed by the most thoughtful theories of "transnationalism", the book produces a wealth of data on multiple aspects of the economic integration at the world-wide level.' - Simona Iammarino, Transnational Corporations
'This volume should be essential reading.'- Simona Iammarino, Transnational Corporations
