Global Corporate Power is an edited volume that examines how multinational corporations shape the global political economy. The contributors explore the growing influence of corporations in areas such as global governance, international taxation, environmental policy, outsourcing, electronic networks, and corporate social responsibility. The book asks three central questions: how corporations should be conceptualized within international political economy, whether global governance can constrain corporate power, and how effective corporate social responsibility initiatives have been.

The essays argue that corporations are not merely economic actors but also political actors that influence policy-making, regulatory frameworks, and global governance structures. The volume highlights the complex relationship between states, markets, and multinational enterprises in an increasingly globalized world.
