Keywords:
transnational corporations, the state, globalization, business, political processAbstract
In the modern global world, transnational corporations play an important role in economic, social and political processes. The article is aimed at studying the main characteristics and activities of TNCs through the prism of various academic disciplines. Corporations have all the necessary resources to become important political actors at global and local levels. Attention is paid to the perspectives of studying the interaction between transnational corporations and the state. According to the author, the research in this area should be an important direction in political science. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17072/2218-1067-2017-4-165-180References
