Abstract: The offshoring phenomenon, which dominated a large part of the discourse on international production from the eighties of the last century, is losing on the dynamics in recent years, primarily due to narrowing wage gap between developed and developing countries. The simultaneous emergence of other factors resulted in the emergence of new trends of international business location, which concern in particular companies that have earlier relocated their business processes abroad. Reshoring phenomenon that should be understood as a partial or total relocation of previously offshored company’s activities to the home country or a new destination is one of the major topics of current public debates among scientist and policymakers in several developed countries. However, the results of conducted analysis indicate that reshoring may also have some effects – positive and negative, in the case of Central and Eastern European countries. The research has been based on conclusions drawn from the critical study of literature and data of selected international institutions.
