They examine key activities of multinational corporations in the United States, Japan, and Europe and explore the relationship be…

  • Authoritarianism and Democracy in the Transition to Socialism

    Open AccessJames F Petras, James Petras et al.ARTICLELatin American Perspectives1988Cited by: 3References: 1

    Every regime intent on effecting a transition to socialism inevitably confronts the necessity to utilize both authoritarian and democratic measures.
