The book focuses on the policies of World War II aggressors in occupied countries. The unbalanced economic and financial relations were defined by administrative control, the implementation of institutions and a variety of military exploitation strategies. Plundering, looting and requisitions were frequent aggressive acts, but beyond these interventions by force, specific institutions were created to gain control over the occupied economies as a whole. An appropriate institutional setting was also crucial to give incentives to the companies in the occupied countries to produce munitions for the aggressors. The book explains the main fields of war exploitation (organisation and control, war financing and work force recruitment). It substantiates these aspects in case studies of occupied countries, and gives examples of the business policy of multinational companies under war conditions. The book also provides an account on differences and similarities of the two occupation systems"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index SUBJECT Europa gnd Subject Military occupation -- Economic aspects -- Europe -- 20th century Military occupation -- Economic aspects -- Asia -- 20th century World War, 1939-1945 -- Occupied territories.
