| description | This dissertation analyses the role of Swiss multinational enterprises (MNEs) in influencing national and international politics from 1942 to 1993. Drawing on a rich variety of archival material, such as minutes of meetings and private correspondence, the analysis illustrates concretely how MNEs have played a key role in specific decisions and in molding institutional settings such as an investment guarantee scheme or double taxation agreements. In addition, the dissertation explores the role of MNEs’ activities within business interest associations as well as their interactions and conflicts with representatives of other economic sectors and labor unions. Finally, the analysis uncovers how increasing economic integration and the troubled context of the 1970s prompted MNEs to strengthen their international ties with their European counterparts and to place their own experts in international bodies. |
