Governments and Multinational Enterprises: From Confrontation to Co-operation?

John H. Dunning

Chapter 4 in Multinationals in the Global Political Economy, 1993, pp 59-83 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There have been many studies of the ways in which governments1 may directly affect the activities of multinational enterprises (MNEs).2 Few, however, have attempted to analyse the extent to which outward or inward direct investment — through its effects on the economics of investing or recipient countries — has led governments to modify their existing economic objectives and strategies; or, indeed, of the way in which governments have sought to influence the level and pattern of MNE activity, as part of a package of policy instruments designed to advance a broader set of economic and/or social goals.
