Corporate imperialism: Conflict and expropriation

This title was first published in 1976. The anticolonial revolution of the 1950s challenged the edifice of political imperialism established by the European powers in the nineteenth century. In the 1970s another revolution appears to be sweeping the Third World a movement which seeks to challenge the new imperialism of the transnational corporations (TNCs) established in the twentieth century. These essays written explicitly from a Third World perspective suggest that conflict between Third World states and transnational corporations in natural resource industries is an inherent and dialectical result of a system of corporate imperialism.
