Merging Interests

Discover the intricate dynamics of economic policy with Merging Interests by Sarah Bauerle Danzman, published by Cambridge University Press in 2019. This compelling hardback edition spans 348 pages and delves into the motivations behind why governments choose to open their economies to multinational enterprises (MNEs). Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, Danzman reveals how large domestic firms advocate for the liberalization of foreign direct investment (FDI) policies. However, this push often comes at the expense of smaller competitors, highlighting the complex interplay between corporate interests and economic policy. Ideal for scholars and policymakers alike, Merging Interests is an essential read for anyone interested in the impact of MNEs on domestic markets and the broader implications for economic growth.
