The book has five case studies of struggles of different sectors against TNCs. These are:

• PAN APs campaign to resist agrochemical TNCs in the Asia Pacific Region;
• TIE-Asia's campaign in Sri Lanka for the right to organize unions in the Free Trade Zones;
• The long struggle of the Indigenous Peoples of Bougainvill against the huge CRA/RTZ copper mine at Panguna, which later led to its closure and the current moves of the people towards independence for Bougainville;
• IBON Philippines analysis of the 1997 campaign against oil TNCs which mobilized thousands of Filipinos against the oil deregulation law; and
• ERA Consumer Malaysia's campaign against TNCs promoting infant formula.

All of these case studies tell important stories of people's resistance to corporate power and control.
