It contains sixteen country case studies by an international and multidisciplinary group of experts analyzing the various causes and effects of the rise of ‘big business’.

Bringing together an international and multidisciplinary group of experts, this is the first comprehensive volume to analyze conglomerates and economic groups in developing countries and transition economies.

• the nature of contemporary economic concentration
• the relations between ‘local’ and ‘external’ investors
• the impact on development, and on economic and political control over its direction
• the new role of the state towards conglomerates and economics groups
• the effects of economic and political changes on the legitimacy of the state and large companies.
