Misbehavior of multinational corporations

The trial of Shell regarding the execution of Ogoni human rights and environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa has started. This post will not be what one usually reads regarding multinational corporations (MNCs) and globalization and general evilness. Don’t get me wrong – what Shell has done is absolutely terrible. But having your life caught up with one and becoming a TCK because of one makes it difficult to just say that MNCs are evil and should behave. Some nuance and better understanding of why some MNCs misbehave is needed.
