Abstract: Abstract In the literature on the emergence of foreign direct investment (FDI) and multinational enterprises (MNEs), politics and state policies—though not completely absent—have never figured prominently. The main exception to this is when politics enters as a factor determining the direction of FDI through its influence on the attractiveness of different potential host countries. Thus, host country policies have generally been subject to scrutiny in some detail, while home country policies have largely been ignored. This chapter will try to rectify this lacuna through a discussion of the importance of home country policies in the case of Indian outward FDI (OFDI).1
