Abstract: This study explores the evolving dynamics of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) amid global economic disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and shifting industrial policies. It examines how major crises – such as the 2008 financial downturn, the Covid-19 pandemic, and international conflicts – have reshaped investment patterns. Using recent data from reputable sources, the research highlights that while globalization remains a driving force, investors increasingly prioritize long-term resilience over short-term gains. Key determinants of investment decisions include political stability, tax incentives, regulatory efficiency, and access to diversified energy sources. Moreover, growing industries – such as machine learning, automation, and green technologies – are redefining global value chains. By analyzing regional FDI trends in response to global uncertainties, this study provides valuable insights for policymakers, business leaders, and scholars, fostering strategies that enhance resilience, growth, and long-term economic stability in nowadays world.
