A multidisciplinary collaboration designed to assemble and share research in a number of disparate fields on the impact of foreign direct investment on the host country, in this case the US, and the appropriate public policy responses. Covers foreign direct investment in a globalizing economy; consequences for the economy; research and development and high-technology effects; political, social, and managerial corporate behavior; and policy implications. The 16 papers are revised versions of those presented at a meeting in Washington, DC in September 1995. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
