Foreign Policy Export Controls and American Multinational Corporations
研究了美国政府对外政策出口管制与美国跨国公司之间的冲突,指出管制导致企业销售损失,并威胁自由贸易、企业自主性和合同神圣性,同时发现生产国际化使管制执行困难。
The increasing utilization of foreign policy export controls by the U. S. Government has generated considerable conflicts with American multinational corporations. The exercise of such controls against the Soviet Union, Iran, Nicaragua, Libya, and other countries entails loss of sales for many American firms and also threatens important MNC objectives such as free trade, corporate autonomy and neutrality, and contract sanctity. However, the Executive Branch has discovered that the administrative and political difficulties encountered in linking trade to diplomatic purpose are formidable, and that the internationalization of production by American MNCs has made it difficult to regulate foreign access to the American capitalist warehouse as required by trade sanctions.
