Multinational Corporations and the Politics of Dependence
Toward a multilateral framework for identifying national security threats posed by foreign acquisitions
This article presents a framework for differentiating between foreign acquisitions of companies that might plausibly pose a national security threat to the home country of the target acquisition and those that do not. This framework originally derives from the experience of the United States. The framework is then shown to be relevant and useful for foreign acquisitions in Canada and Australia. In each case, Chinese acquisitions of US, Canadian, …

Beyond Sweatshops
Beyond Sweatshops
Images of labor in developing countries have rallied opponents of globalization against foreign direct investment (FDI). The controversy is most acute over the treatment of low-skilled workers producing garments, footwear, toys, and sports equipment in foreign-owned plants or the plants of subcontractors. Activists cite low wages, poor working conditions, and a variety of economic, physical, and sexual abuses among the negative consequences of th…
Foreign Direct Investment and Development
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the largest and most stable source of private capital for developing countries and economies in transition. What are the most valuable benefits and opportunities that foreign firms have to offer? What risks and dangers do they pose? Beyond improving the micro and macroeconomic fundamentals in their own countries and building an investment-friendly environment, do authorities in host countries need a proactive (r…

The role of private medical practitioners and their interactions with public health services in Asian countries
This paper aims to review the role of private practitioners and their interactions with public health services in developing countries, focusing largely on the Asian region. Evidence on the distribution of health facilities, manpower, health expenditures and utilization rates shows that private practitioners are significant health care providers in many Asian countries. Limited information has been published on interactions between public and pri…
Foreign Acquisition of Critical U.S. Industries
An Economics Agenda for Neorealists
Economists, argues Samuel Huntington in the debate with Christopher Layne.and Robert Jervis about for the United States, are blind to the fact that economic activity is a source of power as well as well-being. It is, indeed, probably the most important source of power, and in a world in which military conflict between major states is unlikely, economic power will be increasingly important in determining the or subordination of states.1 What econo…

Shaping a Future for Foreign Direct Investment in the Third World
IN LITTLE MORE than a decade, there has been a fundamental shift from the overwhelming criticism of multinational corporations to a pervasive enthusiasm about the role that foreign investment can play in the Third World. Not only does the Reagan administration support a greater place for multinational corporations in the less developed countries (LDGs)—Secretary of State George P. Shultz has called them a main source of funds available to finance…
Managing an oligopoly of would-be sovereigns
The key to the success of the oil oligopoly has been the ability of its members to make commitments to each other credible despite great divisiveness and enormous uncertainties. To accomplish this, the oil companies constructed a regime of suprasovereign constraints to control the pursuit of individual self-interest. When these anti-democratic, anti-autonomous institutions functioned effectively, the corporations met challenges far greater than t…

Investing in Development
Excellent and exceptionally timely. --Foreign Affairs This volume surveys current views in the debate about the impact of foreign direct investment on Third World development--on growth, employment, exports, technology, and distribution of income. It examines whether the efforts of less developed countries to attract and control multinational corporations have constituted a serious distortion of trade that threatens jobs in the home nations. It p…
Modeling Opec behavior
The predominant approach to modeling OPEC behavior depends upon the assumption that economic self-interest provides the best predictor of the cartel's price and production strategy. With rational monopoly behavior, the exogenous characteristics of the oil market determine an optimal price path for the group. But OPEC members have diverse economic as well as political goals. And uncertainty about oil market responses provides substantial leeway to…

Multinational corporations and dependency
Three assertions about relations between multinational corporations and host countries in the Third World frequently appear in the dependencia literature: 1) that the host countries receive too few benefits; 2) that foreign investment causes distortions in the local economies; and 3) that foreign investment distorts host countries' political processes. These propositions can be reformulated as testable hypotheses, to which non-dependency studies …

Foreign Expansion as an “Institutional Necessity” for U.S. Corporate Capitalism
Is foreign economic expansion in some sense an “institutional necessity” for corporate capitalism in the United States? Is there something inherent in the internal dynamics of American capitalism that creates such strong pressures for foreign private investment that the U.S. Government must consider the creation and preservation of an international system that facilitates such expansion to be among our most vital national interests? What yardstic…

The 'Development' of Argentina and Australia
Today the difference in the development of Australia and Argentina seems evident to everyone. Australia's economic growth has led to political integration; Argentina's has not. This article will attempt to determine the roots of this political integration or disintegration. Both are primarily agricultural countries whose economies rely on commercial export of wheat, beef, and wool. Both had a big man's frontierl and early developed a small landho…
