Foreign Direct Investment

Chapter 25 in The World Trading System, 1998, pp 269-278 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Until relatively recently there was a fair amount of suspicion of foreign investment. One only has to think of the sensitivity in Europe in the 1960s after the initial wave of US investment, which gave rise to J.J. Servan-Schreiber’s book The American Challenge.1 As a young student at the time, to me there seemed little difference between the Cold War and the economic war; both appeared to be life and death struggles.
