Abstract
This book examines the place and the role of multinational corporations (MNCs) in the growth and development of the economies of the EU and emerging countries (China, India and the CEECs). It covers both European MNCs investing in Asia, as well as American and Asian firms operating in Europe. Location choices, motivations and strategies are discussed, by considering their impact on the transformation and adaptation of these economies, on new specialisations, their consequences for social relations and the local environment.
