Local Authorities and Foreign Companies: The Paradoxical Issue of FDI Towards Fast-Growing Economies

Jean-Paul Lemaire

Chapter 2 in The Paradoxes of Globalisation, 2010, pp 43-66 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The insertion, accelerated over the last two decades, of the emerging economies, and particularly the fast-growing economies (more than 5 per cent growth per year), into both the flow of trade and international investments,1 underlines the growing involvement of these countries in globalisation. This, however, evokes paradoxical aspects regarding the attitude of both the authorities of host countries, in their involvement with foreign investors, and of the investors themselves.
