Abstract
Two types of formal organizations, the multinational corporation and the international professional association, cross the boundaries not only of nation-states but also of several disciplines, viz., sociology, international business, and international relations. Notwithstanding their rapid rate of growth in the past two decades and their role as mechanisms of change in the international system, these organizations have been largely ignored by social scientists studying organizations and international relations.Keywords
