Huvudsyftet med projektet är att studera samspelet mellan multinationella företag (MNC) och den politiska miljön i utvecklingsländer.

Beskrivning

The main goal of the project is to study the interaction between Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and the political environment in developing countries. Many countries go through political changes, for example, a democratization process, political instability or a setback toward autocracy. One of the research project questions is to answer on a macro level how MNCs play a role in these political changes. Another question is to go on a mezzo and examine how MNCs’ investments in a specific sector might play more concrete role in impacting the political change.

The subject of IB and the political environment in general, or more specifically democracy is understudied from an internationalization theory’s point of view. Therefore, the aim is to bridge this gap from both theoretical and empirical point of view.
