Global Corporations: Vehicles of Control
August 19, 1998
High level negotiations have been under way for three years to expand the reach of transnational corporations in the global economy. According to many activists and scholars, this trade treaty, known as the Multi-Lateral Agreement on Investment, is the latest development in a century's old quest to solidify corporate control over the planet's resources. On this program, Making Contact's Globalization Desk takes a look at this trend and its impact on fundamental human rights.
