The palpable dichotomy between powerful international corporations and relatively less capable governments arises most often in cases involving developing countries and, more recently, economies in transition from communist or other centrally planned structures to a free market system integrating with the global economy. Lee Tavis has proposed a productivity/social separation principle, suggesting that “corporations have little responsibility beyond increasing productive outputs when operating in societies governed by both efficient market forces and effective democratic governments that operate in the best interests of their people.” Do you think Tavis’s theory is applicable to international trade practiced in Taiwan? Elaborate your comments as concisely as possible with substantial examples.
