Although there are many groups of think tanks involved in this war, the focus will be on two cases, Atlas Network and CLACSO, both of which have created far-reaching networks disseminating hegemonic and counter-hegemonic narratives and strategies to defend or transform the status quo.

This means it is necessary to look analytically at the place in society occupied by think tanks, together with their control of global resources, both in the economic and political policy fields, and their inroads into structures of power. To advance in this direction, the following questions are addressed: How have think tanks reached positions of power? Who funds and controls them and for what purpose? How is policy-making knowledge created? How are new policy ideas propagated and validated? This means looking at intrinsic connections between think tanks and power—either coercive or consensual—and how these organizations are also mechanisms whereby elites construct, exercise and challenge power, particularly through knowledge production, concentration, and mobilization.

It argues that transnationalization of Mexican state elites was part of the process that led to the adoption of a neoliberal project since the 1980s and that it entailed an increasingly greater participation in global networks as well as a greater affinity with the standards, practices and norms of transnational organizations and global technocrats. The process was very dynamic, and it unfolded through a set of reforms that gradually, but steadily, transformed the political economy from a state-centered to a market-centered political economy. It launched a group of neoliberal reformers to transnational spaces following a combination of paths that included: (1) interlocking with regional and global corporate networks; (2) participation in regional and global think tanks and policy making bodies; (3) a long and active trajectory in internatio...

It provides an analytical framework to study the business practices of Korean companies and the influence of Korean national identity on the business linkages abroad. Special attention is given to the linkages that Korean companies (commercial subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, producers, and maquiladoras) maintain with their parent companies and/or with other Korean-origin firms, with a focus on two specific issues: control and decision making within the firm and the preference for doing business with Koreans.
