Answer one of the following questions in the form of an essay. Your written work should be no more than 2000 words in length.1) Consider the process of integration in Europe culminating in the establishment of the European Union. To what extent and how did economic concerns shape this process? What does European integration tell us about the relationship between economics and politics?
2) What accounts for the development and growth of transnational production and the associated proliferation and expanded activities of transnational (or multinational) corporations (TNCs)? What, if any, are the political consequences of the role TNCs play in the global economy?
