The role of international institutions in MNC - host country relations

Abstract

Strategic interdependence of MNCs and governments has been examined in numerous studies. One of the best known models of MNC-Host country relationship was introduced several decades ago and called the bargaining power model. This model was revisited by scholars who applied it to different contexts. We aim to elaborate the bargaining power model applying it to emerging market MNC -emerging host country bargaining and to reveal the role of international institutions in this model. We use critical discourse analysis which allow us to identify several media discourses.
