Bringing together an international and multidisciplinary group of experts, this is the first comprehensive volume to analyze conglomerates and economic groups in developing countries and transition economies.

• the nature of contemporary economic concentration
• the relations between ‘local’ and ‘external’ investors
• the impact on development, and on economic and political control over its direction
• the new role of the state towards conglomerates and economics groups
• the effects of economic and political changes on the legitimacy of the state and large companies.
