"Multinational Enterprise and Public Policy" is an analysis of the relations between multinational corporations and the governments of the industrialized states. The author has written an account of policy development in 15 industrial countries over the past three decades which questions both the motivation and effectiveness of government policy. The text explains how government policies have evolved, comparing the application of specific policies such as restricted sectors, investment review and investment incentives. In conclusion, the author offers an assessment of recent progress towards more liberal and better targeted government policies.
