Today, the world economic system has revived, international competition has increased significantly, national and international relations have become more liberal, and the largest transnational companies (TNCs) flexibly react to the development of scientific and technical progress. TNCs are one of the most important institutions of the political process in the modern world and play an important role in the political process. They affect all processes that take place in states where corporations conduct their activities, contributing to the formation of a single political space. The foregoing emphasizes the need to study the activities of transnational corporations and its impact on political processes in a changing modern world. In the home country, TNCs interact and maintain contacts with the leadership of the legislative, executive and judicial branches, with political parties and public organizations, as well as with the media. TNCs interfere in the formation of foreign and domestic policies of states, are engaged in its implementation, have a huge number of means and opportunities to implement and monitor their interests, they are politically active and implement their political goals, conditioned by economic interests, at the world level. The influence of TNCs on the world economy and politics is constantly growing. The growth of the political influence of global capital potentially leads to the transfer of power over society from national states to TNCs.
