With the rapid growth of China and India and the resurgence of
Southeast Asia post-1997 8, emerging Asia has once again become one
of the most dynamic regions in the world. This dynamism has in turn
been fuelled largely by a carefully calibrated embracement of
economic openness to international trade, investments and capital
flows. While much has been written about international trade, there
has been somewhat less work on the issue of capital flows,
macroeconomic management and foreign direct investment (FDI) to and
from the region, a gap that this book attempts to fill.
The book is divided into two parts. The first part deals with
selected issues pertaining to macroeconomic management in small and
open economies, with particular focus on exchange rates. The second
part of the book deals with the trends and determinants of FDI in
emerging Asia, its importance as a source of finance, its impact on
growth and development, and the nexus between FDI and foreign
portfolio flows (FPI).
Overall, the chapters in this book tackle important policy
issues of contemporary relevance, but are informed by analytical
frameworks, data and empirics. While each of the topic areas chosen
in individual chapters is intentionally narrow, the book as a whole
covers a number of areas and countries/regions within Asia (i.e.
East, Southeast and South Asia). While the chapters have been
written in a manner that can stand up to academic scrutiny, they
are also meant to be accessible to policy makers, researchers and
others who might be interested in FDI and related issues in
Asia.
