POLITICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE ACTIVITIES OF TRANSNATIONAL CORPORATIONS ON THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS AND SECURITY

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the complex relationship between transnational corporations and international security, especially its political implications. For the purpose of this article, the focus is on issues relating to the future position of states in the international arena. The research questions posed were thus: How do transnational corporations infl uence the political decisions of states? Do transnational corporations pose a threat to the sovereignty of states and democracy? What position in the international arena will states occupy in the future in the context of the infl uence of transnational corporations? In the course of the analysis of the issues carried out, it was decided to pose and defend the thesis that over the coming decades, states will continue to be the decisive player in the international arena, and states will determine the future of international security. However, the author is mindful that the formulas for cooperation in this regard in the international arena may evolve as a result of the growing role of transnational corporations. This paper analyzes the literature on this topic and examines online sources. Signifi cant challenges related to the impact of transnational corporations on international relations and on international security are demonstrated.
