Summary

Multinational Restructuring, Internationalization and Small Economiesgoes beyond traditional studies of foreign direct investments. By using detailed data convering practically all Swedish multinationals and more than two decades of expansion in international markets, the authors describe, interpret and analyze issues which are normally difficult to investigate. Multinational Restructuring, Internationalization and Small Economiesprovides evidence on the links between foreign production, on the one hand, and trade, development and diffusion of technology, employment and regional integration on the other. It presents important information on internationalization of a small country's industry.
