'A 'tour de force' of the modern international political economy with a fascinating focus on the role of multinational firms in structuring world order. Both original and broad in scope, Stone's Multinational Order offers keen insights into the past and possible future of international relations.' David A. Lake, Professor of the Graduate Division, University of California, San Diego 'Multinational Order is a landmark study that redefines our understanding of how multinational corporations shape US foreign policy. With a novel firm-level framework and a wealth of historical and empirical evidence, this book reveals both the extraordinary influence and the real-world limits of corporate power in global politics. Essential reading for anyone seeking to grasp the complex interplay between business interests, national security, and international order.' J. Lawrence Broz, Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego 'Multinational Order shows how the world's largest multinational corporations have long shaped US foreign policy and international institutions, with US national security as an occasional check. Blending rich historical narrative and rigorous quantitative analysis, Randall W. Stone offers a powerful account of the enduring centrality of business in international politics.' Rachel L. Wellhausen, Professor of Government, University of Texas at Austin
