Hi,
Need some ideas for an essay I have.
Q. How to multinational organizations affect domestic politics.
All I have at the moment is the impact on political corruption... Any other arguments would be greatly appreciated
The impact on political corruption is right ,my point is
that multinational organisations have positive effects as well,
for example:helping individuals get recorgnition at their work
and in disaster management or reduction.This is a positive effect most
multinational organisations have
on domestic politics.
Hi,
I found a good article in a website about multinationals and their influence on politics of the countries they operate. I think it gives you good points for you essay... Google for "Role of Multinational Corporations in International politics" : )
In developing countries the MNC are like parallel governments and also a source of economic development.
second, because they pump in money they also influence politics.
Third, they are the new versions of mercantilism practices by colonizers.
Fourth, globalization and WTO polices have further accentuated their role and also created public disparities.
Is this paper based on domestic politics of the country in question? I.e., a MNC in a third world country or the MNC of a particular country (the US) affecting those policies?
Consider how MNC's affect international relations (Bretton Woods, GATT, Interdependence, globalization)... different industries (Oil, Agriculture), foreign direct investment (political factors and where it will go) and how it effects economics and thus, policies... One country to consider is Brazil and why they received so much FDI over other countries (bolivia), state owned enterprises... OPEC, world bank, OECD...
Things to look up that have affect national policies:
Hickenlooper amendment
Gonzalez amendment
ITT in Chile
MNC's and Panama (1988)
Calvo Doctrine
Would consider getting the book or e-book
"The politics of international economic relations" by Joan E. Spero.
