Are multinational corporations the tools of states (realism), or are states the tools of multinational corporations (critical view)? Which view better explains the world as we see it today? Defend your position with contemporary or historical facts.

Please make sure to incorporate:

(1) A clear introduction that directly addresses the question posed by the instructor;

(2) A body of factual examples that support your thesis; these examples may be drawn from either the assigned readings or footnoted sources researched independently by the student; Wikipedia is not an appropriate source for academic essays;

(3) A coherent paragraph structure that highlights your main points; and

(4) Appropriate citations for materials drawn from the works of others; plagiarized threads will be penalized

Main Discussion Essay posting should be approximately 1000-1500 words in length. Long, rambling, unfocused messages discourage readership and suggest fuzzy thinking. It is more difficult to express ideas in short essays than in long ones.

I am very easy to communicate with and open to brainstorming and being a part of the process. Thank you so much :)
