Embedding multinational firms in regional business systems: neoliberal and social‐democratic models in Spain
研究了西班牙马德里和阿斯图里亚斯两个地区如何以不同政治方式吸引和留住外国直接投资，分析了组织劳工在投资体制中的作用。
Abstract The paper analyses how regional actors have mobilised to attract and retain foreign direct investment in two Spanish regions with different political approaches to the management of economic issues, including industrial relations. These regions are Madrid, the main pole of attraction of foreign direct investment in Spain, and Asturias, with a large tradition of heavy industry and a greater dependence on a small number of large employers. It finds the regions have adapted to international competition in substantially different manners and considers the alternative reasons why this might be the case, highlighting the role of organised labour both in the inward investment regimes themselves, and in shaping the nature of the different compromises they involve.
