Quotes
"I found Chapter 8 on international production in the context of the 'new' trade theories illuminating and instructive. This chapter provides an excellent and readable discussion of the new theories and their implications for international investment and is to be recommended to students of trade and investment." - The Business Economist,2000, 33,2 "Ietto-Gillies's publication represents an interesting and compelling treatment of the dominant role of transnational companies (TNC's) in the globalisation process and the configuration of a new world division of labour...One of the most appealing aspects of Ietto Gillies's book is that she is ambitious in effectively integrating both economic, institutional and political theories from a broad set of what have often been largely disparate literatures to conceptualise her analysis of TNC's." - Global Business and Economics Review (2002), 4, 1: 160-163
