Abstract:The world today is experiencing profound changes in the international political and economic order. Multinational corporations, influential players in international trade and investment, play an important role in the reform and reconstruction of the international political and economic order. Especially the influence of non-traditional multinational corporations like high-tech companies and the Internet industry cannot be underestimated. Multinational corporations are characterized with monopoly, competition and cooperation. Non-traditional multinational corporations have significant impact on international political and economic order at three levels. Specifically, non-traditional multinational corporations have increased their monopoly advantages in international political and economic order and become more competitive. At the same time, they have increased cooperation in international political and economic field. At present, with the involvement of multinational corporations, especially non-traditional transnational corporations, the international political and economic order show some signs of transformation. The world will be more multi-polarized in international political and economic field. The behavior subjects will be more diverse. The development difference will be more obvious and the competition will be more intense. But there is still room for cooperation, and sovereign states will still play important roles in international political and economic order. Although multinational corporations play dynamic roles in shaping the international political and economic order, they will be independent from national sovereignty in the foreseeable future. Only under the guidance and constraint of national sovereignty can multinational corporations more effectively and actively engage in reshaping international political and economic order, so as to better provide economic and material support for all players in the international community.
