Abstract: Abstract This study focuses on the relatively new phenomenon of Yugoslav direct investment in LDCs. The main purpose of this chapter is to discuss the origin, evolution, specific characteristics and motivation of Yugoslav firms in LDCs. The focus is on four issues: (1) What are the major historical, economic and political variables that help to explain the growth of Yugoslav FDI in LDCs? (2) What are the motives behind Yugoslav direct investments in LDCs? (3) What factors prompted minority-owned Joint Ventures as the preferred form of investment in LDCs? (4) What are some of the problems and reasons for divestment?
