Your outline provides a strong base for your paper. You may want to reword your thesis so that is reads bit more clear. Also, it may be a good idea to introduce your case studies at the end. That way you have already introduced the reader to the aspects of your argument that hope to use your case studies to prove. I like that your conclusion tries to answer a bigger question regarding the coexistence of the state and corporations, but fear that you could get quite bogged down in that discussion.
