Abstract: Abstract In the context of the transnationalisation of productive systems and changing dynamics of competition to host foreign direct investment (FDI), it is commonly argued, both in economic geography and in discussions of the political economy of FDI, that relatively local, sub-national governance actors play an increasing role in attempting to connect regions to global production. This applies both to negotiating with current and potential investors, and to establishing wider business systems which will attract FDI and try to ‘embed’ it within the relevant geographical space.
