Power of Nation States Eroded by Multinational Corporations

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
corporations overlap the authority of the nation state that hosts them (Chiorean, 2000). As multinational corporations have proliferated and expanded, they have become more powerful and this places them in  competition with the nation state as the authoritative voice for the nation (Chiorean, 2000). Some ask whether these corporations are, in fact, competing with the nation for sovereignty (Chiorean, 2000).  Furthermore, the corporations work to organize and establish their own economic system, one that is autonomous from the nation, and this poses a threat to substitute the corporate economic  system in the international economic order that exists between nations (Chiorean, 2000).

They also argue  that these suppositions cannot be justified (Chiorean, 2000). Yet, there are many who allege that the power of nation-states is eroding in the face of the multinational corporations taking
