(1994) Les sociétés multinationales et l'aménagement du territoire, Reg. Studies 28, 657--677. Cet article résume et fait la synthése des différents fils de la documentation afin d'en tirer des conclusions sur le rôle éventuel que joueraient les sociétés multinationales quant à l'aménagement du territoire à l'intérieur de la Communauté Européenne. On fait un compte rendu des circonstances dans lesquelles les filiales des sociétés multinationales, qui inciteraient au développement, seraient établies dans les zones d'accueil, et on examine les canaux par lesquels des grappes pourraient être établies et l'engendrement d'un avantage comparatif dynamique. On discute des questions de politique tout en soulignant l'importance de l'investissement dans l'equipement, l'éducation et d'autres biens publics. YOUNG S., HOOD N. und PETERS E.

Dieser Aufsatz faßt verschiedene Fäden der Literatur zusammen und bringt sie zur Synthese, um Schlüsse auf die potentielle Rolle multinationaler Unternehmen in der regionalwirtschaftlichen Entwicklung in der EG darzustellen. Die Umstände, unter denen MNU (MNE) Tochtergesellschaften in Gastgebergebieten auftauchen können, werden besprochen, sowie mögliche Wege zur Klusterbildung und zur Schaffung dynamischer Vorteile im Vergleich untersucht. Es werden Fragen des Vorgehens erörtert, wobei die Bedeutung von Investierungen in Infrastruktur, Bildung und anderen öffentlichen Werten betont werden.
