Description and Table of Contents

Description

In theory foreign direct investment allows developing countries to integrate with international markets and develop their economies. However sometimes the benefits are less than expected and countries use performance requirements in an attempt to improve the situation. These requirements can be contentious, as developed countries often associate them with interventionist strategies whilst developing countries see them as tools previously used by the developed countries when they were industrialising. This book is a contribution to the debate based on four case studies (Chile, India, Malaysia, South Africa) and the experience of the developed world.
