More than a decade into the new millennium, the fusion of corporate and state power is the essential defining feature of US foreign policy. This edited volume critically examines the relationship between corporations and the US state in the development of foreign policies related to globalization.
Drawing together a wide range of contributors, this work explores the role of corporations in using US foreign policies to advance the interests of transnational capital in a wide range of contexts, including:
- how US government policies have contributed to the globalization of production and finance
- the ways in which transnational corporations have influenced the US relationship with China, a crucial linkage in the new era of transnational accumulation
- how transnational corporate power has shaped capital-labour relations, humanitarian intervention, structural adjustment policies, low-intensity democracy and the G20 summits
- the "corporate centrism" of the Obama Administration, whose policies have been consistent with the growing power of transnational capital in US foreign policymaking
- the politics and consequences of the embedded relationship between various sectors of the transnational capitalist class, global institutions and the US state, including the limits and contradictions of this relationship during the ongoing capitalist crisis.
This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of both US foreign policy and international political economy.
Ronald W. Cox is Associate Professor in the Department of Politics and International Relations, Florida International University,USA. He has written extensively in the areas of international political economy, US foreign policy, and the political economy of baseball.
