ABSTRACT
Part 1 of this book provided a description of the causes and the nature of government intervention. Intervention, it has been argued, is not experienced equally by all, but varies from subsidiary to subsidiary. The causes of this variation are more likely to be found within each subsidiary rather than in the unique characteristics of each host nation. Each subsidiary has policies, strategies and characteristics which determine its absolute level of bargaining power. It is the level of bargaining power which appears to determine the extent of costly, forced, government intervention.
