"The broad purpose of this book is to further an understanding of the relationship between international economics and international politics. Through the examination of the so-called multinational corporation (MNC) and foreign investment, I shall show the reciprocal interaction of economics and politics in today's world... Thus, in order to develop a theory of political economy, I shall analyze the multinational corporation and foreign investment from the general perspective of international relations and show the significance of foreign investment in the larger context of international politics." -- From the introduction.
