Exploiting existing assets and exploring new assets are two major and often concurrent forces driving firms to invest abroad. Moving beyond prior attention to their separate effects on foreign ownership decisions, this study examines their integrative impact. I develop hypotheses aligning a set of firm-specific advantages with asset-seeking motives, and test these relationships on a sample of Taiwanese overseas investments. I find that wholly-owned subsidiaries are preferred to joint ventures when multinationals are able to tap into host innovatory dynamism by employing extant technological capabilities and to access local natural resources by leveraging corporate scales.

The dominant theme of the global governance literature is the fragmentation and recomposition of authority in the global political economy, particularly its apparent diffusion away from the exclusive prerogative of the sovereign state towards a multiplicity of sites, including international organizations, locally and trans-nationally based non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and transnational corporations. Both books are refreshingly grounded in an old idea - the power of the nation-state - and fit into this dialogue by addressing two issues in the practice and theory of global governance: an empirical study of the ongoing importance of minilateral clubs of rich states, which represents a counter-point to easy arguments about the democratizing potential of new technologies, voices, ...
