Foreign direct investment (FDI) has grown dramatically and is now
the largest and most stable source of private capital for
developing countries and economies in transition, accounting for
nearly 50 percent of all those flows. Meanwhile, the growing role
of FDI in host countries has been accompanied by a change of
attitude, from critical wariness toward multinational corporations
to sometimes uncritical enthusiasm about their role in the
development process. What are the most valuable benefits and
opportunities that foreign firms have to offer? What risks and
dangers do they pose? Beyond improving the micro and macroeconomic
"fundamentals" in their own countries and building an
investment-friendly environment, do authorities in host countries
need a proactive (rather than passive) policy toward FDI? In one of
the most comprehensive studies on FDI in two decades, Theodore
Moran synthesizes evidence drawn from a wealth of case literature
to assess policies toward FDI in developing countries and economies
in transition. His focus is on investment promotion, domestic
content mandates, export-performance requirements, joint-venture
requirements, and technology-licensing mandates. The study
demonstrates that there is indeed a large, energetic, and vital
role for host authorities to play in designing policies toward FDI
but that the needed actions differ substantially from conventional
wisdom on the topic. Dr. Moran offers a pathbreaking agenda for
host governments, aimed at maximizing the benefits they can obtain
from FDI while minimizing the dangers, and suggests how they might
best pursue this agenda.
