Biografisk notat
Edited by Andreas Nölke and Christian May, Institute of Political Science, Goethe University Frankfurt, Germany<i>'This book does an excellent job of bringing together a range of studies that give centrality to corporations, often anchored in national systems but with global aspirations. Different countries and regions, as well as different policy fields, are covered, and different theoretical perspectives from specialists across the social sciences are offered. The Handbook provides interesting examples of how corporations exercise power, may come to dominate policy at domestic and international levels and under specific circumstances are strong enough to present themselves as problem solvers.'</i><br /> --Karsten Ronit, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Bringing together international contributors, this Handbook provides a nuanced and global perspective on the IPE of corporations. With a multidisciplinary introduction to corporations from an IPE perspective, this Handbook investigates the role of the corporation in the twenty-first century and highlights the complexities of corporations and the environments in which they exist. Chapters provide insights into corporations' internal structures, how they are embedded in their national environments and how their transnational relations are structured, as well as their position in the global economy.
Carefully written and edited to ensure accessibility, the Handbook of the International Political Economy of the Corporation is a crucial resource for students of IPE seeking to deepen their understanding of the discipline as well as for postgraduate scholars who need reference material within which to frame their research.
