      abstract = {This book advances the debate on socio-economic  development and multinational corporations (MNCs). It  provides an actor-centered perspective and develops the  framework called 'Conflating Capitalisms' that allows for a  better understanding of both MNC-induced institutional  change in the host country and the subsequent impact on  local development. The book uses the empirical case of  Western MNCs in Latin America. It applies a sequential  mixed-method design, including a large-scale elite survey  on corporate behavior and in-depth, semi-structured  interviews with local decision-makers on the  institutionalization of German dual vocational training  (DVT) in Brazil. The book presents strong evidence for both  behavioral contradiction in the host country - with MNCs  showing alien-to-the-system behavior - and subsequent  actor-induced institutional change, with varied  developmental impact. Additionally, the book offers novel  insights into MNCs' handling of missing complementary  institutions and the institutionalization process of  coordinated practices in Latin America. This book appeals  to scholars, students, and practitioners who are interested  in advancing the field of development and MNCs.},
