A multinational corporation is a corporate enterprise, which though headquartered in one country, conducts its operations through branches that it owns or controls around the world. The organizations, mostly based in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, have become major actors on the international stage, for some of them are wealthier than many of the countries they operate in. the less developed countries often welcome the multinational corporations because they are a source of investment and jobs. Yet their presence has its drawbacks, for these organizations soon develop immense political and economic influence in the host countries. Development becomes concentrated in a few industries that are oriented to the needs of the outsiders; profits are frequently exported rather than reinvested; and local benefits go mainly to a small ruling group whose interests are tied to those of the foreigners rather than to those of their own people. The effect is to further increase export dependency and to limit the less developed countries’ control of their own economies.
It seems that both the modernization and world-system approaches may be valid in certain respects. The modernization model does help us make sense of the historical fact of industrialization and of the various internal adjustments that, societies undergo during this process. The world-system model reminds us that countries do not develop in isolation. They do so in a context of fierce international political and economic competition, a competition whose outcome favors the stronger parties.
Today, the less developed countries are struggling to achieve in the course of a few years the material advantages that the older industrialized national have taken generations to gain. The result is often a tug-of-war between the forces of modernization and the sentiments of tradition, with serious social disturbance as the result. The responses have taken many different forms; military overthrow by army officers determined to impose social order; fundamentalist religious movements urging a return to absolute moralities an certainties of the past; nationalism as a new ideology to unite the people for the challenge of modernization. And sometimes social change takes place in a way that is not evolutionary, but revolutionary.
Which of the following is most likely to benefit from the fierce international political and economic competition?
选项
A、The host industries.
B、The local people.
C、Those stronger and richer countries.
D、The local ruling group.
答案
C
解析
A D D 都是说对当地的发展有好处,但文中指出这种好处是有代价的。而强国和富国才是最大的收益者。
