Providing an insight into the ways in which transnational corporations have influenced a wide range of policies of the EU and other international institutions, this book analyses the structural and political factors which have enabled corporate political power to dominate.



The featured case studies examine corporate influence on transport, biotechnology, climate change policies, as well as key economic globalization projects such as the Transatlantic Economic Partnership and the Multilateral Agreement on Investment.
