The Logic of International Restructuring: The Management of Dependencies in Rival Industrial Complexes

The Logic of International Restructuring is a highly topical and relevant contribution to the understanding of an area of critical importance to the global political economy. Presenting a framework that offers a new and better understanding of many of today's international economic developments, the authors link three previously isolated debates on: * industrial restructuring * globalisation * international trade policies Included here is an abundance of both new and historical data on the world's largest one hundred companies. The authors are concerned to address key current debates on post-Fordism, globalisation and lean production. Their approach is an interdisciplinary one aimed at an audience working in the areas of business, economics, organisational studies and international relations.Rob van Tulder is the author of 'The Logic of International Restructuring: The Management of Dependencies in Rival Industrial Complexes', published 1996 under ISBN 9780415122382 and ISBN 0415122384.
