This chapter examines the case of Northern Ireland and shows how engaged transnational corporations can help move a country from violence to peace when domestic firms lack either the strength or the will to do so. The sectarian conflict, which dates back hundreds of years, has always had economic roots and consequences. It makes sense then, that corporations, as the main drivers of modern economic exchange, would be a large part of the answer. The chapter looks at how companies like Fruit of the Loom, Allstate, and Seagate Technology have helped create the economic opportunities that are necessary to help Northern Ireland maintain a peaceful future. |
