The Shield of Nationality - When Governments Break Contracts with Foreign Firms - Rachel L. Wellhausen - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press -

Description

The Shield of Nationality examines multinational corporations' relations with governments in developing countries. Wellhausen explains why governments can sometimes expropriate foreign-owned property, even in an era in which global capital is expected to have significant power. A new factor - the nationality of multinational corporations - is discussed as a source of political risk.
