In response to the Global South’s appeal for a New International Economic Order, the Brandt Commission was established in 1977, led by Willy Brandt. Its objective was to develop strategies aimed at bridging the divide between the North and South, advocating for a global framework centered on economic equity, ecological awareness, and disarmament. During this period, multinational corporations—emerging as a novel type of business entity—sought to suppress Brandt’s vision by evading political oversight. This ebook by Bo Strath titled The Brandt Commission and the Multinationals Planetary Perspectives delves into how these global businesses influenced changes that reshaped the world and altered the political landscape. It extends beyond prior studies that merely depict the contention as a theoretical battle between Keynesianism and neoliberalism.
Offering a comprehensive analysis of the trends of that era and including a fresh interview with Shridath Ramphal, who served as the unofficial vice chair of the Commission, this ebook is essential reading for scholars and students involved in international relations, political science, and modern history.
