National Autonomy and Economic Development: Critical Perspectives on Multinational Corporations in Poor Countries

Peter B. Evans

International Organization, 1971, vol. 25, issue 3, 675-692

Abstract: Whether or not less developed countries can better realize their economic aspirations by strengthening their ties with developed countries will remain in dispute as long as there are rich and poor countries. Dispute will be particularly sharp while the main instruments of such interconnection are identifiable institutions like the multinational corporation. It is easier to map the growth of the multinational corporation than to assess its consequences, but the need for an assessment cannot be ignored. As this essay's subtitle suggests, my main concern is consideration of arguments which are critical of the role of the multinational corporation.
