This study focuses on Multinational Corporations (MNCs) and their importance in the
economic development of Third World Countries. Recogni sing that. MNCs can contribute to
economic growth and development, most Third World Countries are constantly working to
attract them. hence their demand has become highly competiti ve. However, MNCs do not go
without some negative effects. such as conflicts between host and investor countries. and the
creation of damaging competition to local firms. These negative effects could be minimised if
policies and strategies for the promotion and attraction of MNCs are part of. and integrated
into. general economic development and economic reform policies and not seen in isolation.
Although Third World Countries have implemented strategies to attract more MNCs. a
refinement of some of these policies is needed if a country is to be successful in this regard. / Thesis (M.A (International Relations) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2014
