ABSTRACT

This chapter applies a number of the ideas explored in Chapters 3–5 to a case study of multinational corporations (MNCs). It focuses on four areas: first, the presence of the MNCs in the world arena; second, the ‘actorness’ of the MNCs; third, the ways in which MNCs form new networks in the arena; and finally, the impact of the MNCs on the international system.
