Multinationals and the Constitutionalization of the World Power System

This collection offers a powerful and coherent study of the transformation of the multinational enterprise as both an object and subject of law within and beyond states. The study develops an analysis of the large firm as being a system of organization exercising vast powers through various instruments of private law yet disconnected from the World Power System. The authors argue that the firm needs to be subjected to the same constitutionalizing process that has been at the centre of the constitutionalization project of states. The book focuses on the development of concepts appropriate for this process.
