Book Synopsis
In an era of rapid globalization it would appear that multinational corporations will be significant players, primarily in direct investment. In these 11 papers from the September 2002 congress it appears that other players of equal significance, such as national and regional policy-making bodies have already joined them. Contributors describe outsourcing in manufacturing, foreign direct investment, technological spillovers, foreign investment in south Asia, the internationalization of Korean firms and tariff-jumping, foreign direct investment and regional integration in Mercosur, India and China, the effect of uncertainty in exchange rates in the UK, and the curious case of Portuguese investment in Brazil.
