This is an analysis of how the global strategies of Multi-national Enterprises (MNE's) affect the power relationship between MNE's and states in the context of increasing trans-national economic integration. > Today, the Multinational Enterprise (MNE) is seen as a leading agent in the process of globalization. As they adopt global strategies, MNE's are seen to be creating stronger, deeper and more lasting links amongst countries, thus shifting the balance of power inexorably in their favour, to the detriment of the state.This book interrogates this idea by undertaking a historical analysis of the global strategies of Ford. > 1.
