This book offers an outlook on relations between national governments and multinational companies that provides broad coverage of the key issues likely to determine that relationship in the new century. From the perspective of the company decision maker concerned with national regulation and incentive policies, to the host government policymaker in an emerging market, to the home government policymaker in a Triad country, each dimension is considered and analyzed in light of the others. As well, additional stakeholders such as labor groups, shareholders, non-governmental organizations, local governments, and regional organizations are discussed and their impacts on the relationship are evaluated.
