Chapter Chapter 1 in Foreign Direct Investments from Emerging Markets, 2010, pp 3-29 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The global market for foreign direct investment (FDI) has undergone significant changes in recent years, with the increasingly important role played by emerging market multinational enterprises (MNEs) being one of the most important among them. While outward FDI (OFDI) from these countries, in itself, is not new, the magnitude that this development has achieved has raised a host of issues, which we will examine in this volume. This opening chapter presents the factual background of this phenomenon, the impact of the financial crisis and recession on FDI flows, and the issues and challenges related to emerging markets’ high FDI flows.
