| Summary: | "Few issues in development raise as much heat as the impact of transnational corporations (TNCs) on the South. However, the exact nature of the relationship between foreign direct investment and development remains unclear both conceptually and empirically.

The book also focuses on the role of 'new players' such as Chinese, Indian and South African TNCs."--Publisher's website. |
