Rival States, Rival Firms: Competition for World Market Shares (Cambridge Studies in International Relations)
|
Review
"Stopford (London Business School) and Strange (formerly of The London School of Economics) provide a fascinating theoretical analysis rooted in a study of 50 multinationals and more than 100 investment projects in Brazil, Kenya, and Malaysia...This richly documented volume is accessible to undergraduates and is strongly recommended for academic and large public libraries." Choice
"As an alliance of a business school academic and a political scientist, Stopford and Strange have produced a very interesting joint product that reflects their complementary skills....a useful book for many economists unfamiliar with the workings of the world of business or the insights from international political economy." David B. Yoffie, Journal of Economic Literature

In this book, Susan Strange (with John Stopford)develops the relational power model that she introduces in "States and Markets". The book introduces the firm as a player in diplomacy and argues that transnational corporation can exercise the type of relational power that the state exercises.
The book is a foundation to Strange's "The Retreat of the State" and a read of all three books, pluse Roger Tooze's anthology of Strange's work "States and Authorities" provides an excellent introduction to International Political Economy as seen from a distinctly European perspective and with the clarity (and quirkiness) provided by the late Susan Strange.
