Abstract

Die machtvolle Stellung multinational taetiger Konzerne im globalen Kapitalismus des 21. Jahrhunderts ist ein besonders kontroversielles und aktuelles Thema. Dieser Beitrag diskutiert die Frage der Konzernmacht vor dem Hintergrund der Herausbildung globaler Gueterketten und Wertschoepfungsketten. Dabei steht insbesondere die Frage nach den Ursachen und Gruenden asymmetrischer Machtkonstellation zwischen Firmen (und anderen AkteurInnen), ihrer theoretischen Beschreibbarkeit und den praktischen Folgen der Konzernmacht im Vordergrund. Eine derartige Betrachtung von Konzernmacht inkludiert nicht nur die Analyse der Beziehung zwischen einzelnen Firmen innerhalb einer Gueterkette oder zwischen Konzernen und anderen Interessengruppen, wie z.B. Gewerkschaften, bei, sondern nimmt auch die Folgen eines internationalen Standortwettbewerbs zwischen Staaten und die damit einhergehenden sozio-oekonomischen Herausforderungen in den Blick.
