在过去十年中，许多第三世界国家已经摆脱了原材料来源国或血汗工厂的经济地位，低工资、低技能的工人为富裕国家生产商品。现在，他们自己制造和消费高质量、高科技的产品，并正在建立外国子公司，通常是在其他发展中国家。本书是第一本研究这些国家外国直接投资的显着增长及其对国际经济秩序的影响的书。 《第三世界跨国公司》探讨了为什么发展中国家的公司选择在海外投资分公司、合资企业和全资子公司，而不是简单地向海外出口货物或签订许可协议的问题。除了运输成本、关税壁垒和进口限制之外，它还确定了一些不太明显的因素，例如管理人员想要出国的动机、技术水平的融合、种族联系以及保护专有工艺和竞争优势的愿望。本书比较了这些公司与来自工业化国家（无论大小）的更成熟的同行之间的异同。它探讨了这些事态发展对特定母国和东道国之间的关系以及对南北关系和南南关系的总体影响。面对稀缺且不可靠的数据，作者从世界各地的众多来源中收集了大量经过验证的数据和可行的估计。这些案例和例子主要来自南美、南亚和东南亚，这些地区是跨国公司分支机构数量最多的地区。建议的引用句柄：RePEc:mtp:titles:026273169x 下载 HTML 格式的参考文件 Louis T.

In the past decade, a number of Third World countries have emerged from their economic status as sources of raw materials or as sweatshops in which low-wage, low-skilled workers produced goods for the richer nations. Now they are themselves manufacturing and consuming high-quality, hightechnology products and are establishing foreign subsidiaries, most often in other developing countries. This book is the first to study the significantgrowth in foreign direct investment by such countries and its impact on the international economic order. Third World Multinationals explores the question of why firms based in developing countries have chosen to invest in branches, joint ventures, and wholly-owned subsidiaries overseas rather than simply export goods or enter into licensing arrangements abroad. In addition to the cost of transport, tariff barriers, and import restrictions, it identifies a number of less apparent factors, such as the motivations of managers in wanting to go abroad, the meshing of technological levels, ethnic ties, and the desire to protect proprietary processes and competitive advantages. The book compares the similarities and differences between these firms and their more established counterparts from the industrialized countries, both large and small. It examines the implications of these developments on the relations between specific home and host countries, and on North-South relations and South-South relations in general. In the face of scarce and unreliable figures, the author has compiled a considerable amount of validated data and viable estimates from numerous world sources. The cases and examples are taken mainly from South America and South and Southeast Asia, those regions that have put forth the largest number of multinational offshoots.
