The Cambridge Companion to the History of Multinationals and Society
Book • 2026
The Cambridge Companion brings together leading scholars to survey the history of multinational corporations and their societal effects, from taxation and corruption to gender and climate issues.
It emphasizes the diversity of multinational strategies and organizational forms while challenging narratives of inevitable corporate ascendancy by examining political ruptures and regional variation.
Contributors analyze both positive and negative impacts, including technology transfer and economic growth as well as exploitation, weak regulation, human-rights abuses, and environmental harm.
The volume aims to inform scholars, students, policymakers, and stakeholders by providing accessible, research-based perspectives on winners and losers of globalization.
Editors Geoffrey Jones and Sabine Pitteloud frame the collection around waves of globalization and the conditions shaping multinational behavior.
