Critics Review

`This is a timely study of an important and complex set of issues which has rarely received the comprehensive treatment it requires… . This study has many admirable features. It is firmly grounded in the key concepts of economics, politics and business theory as they apply to TNCs, and it has a detailed historical base. It has obvious current relevance … it lays out the conflicting principles and viewpoints both within and between developing anddeveloped countries while proposing some intermediate solutions to the deeper incursions into national policy which many governments resist. It contains an extraordinary range of tables, summaries and casesrelating to everything from the contents of existing international agreement to details on the subsidies available to TNCs.‘A. E. Safarian, University of Toronto, Transnational Corporations, Vol. 7, No. 1
