Technology, the evolution of the transnational corporation, and the nation-state: A speculative essay
This study deals with two exceedingly complex matters; first, the causal connection between technology and the rise of giant transnational or multinational corporations, and second, the impact that development is having on the political order called the nation-state. It is concluded that the multinational enterprise and the nation-state are the major participants in the planetary order; that the enterprise has a political role and the state has an economic role; and that they are conjoined ever increasingly into a system of global corporativism.
