This book provides deep insight into the flow of foreign direct
investment from Asia to Europe. It assesses the topic of trade and
investment from the reverse direction, considering Asian countries
as the capital investors in the EU countries. Each chapter analyses
either the international trade or investment of one or more Asian
countries in correlation with one or more European states. The book
analyses a significant number of countries, which are included in
various economic associations, such as the Visegrad Group, the
Three Seas Initiative, the European Free Trade Association, or are
states from the same geopolitical region - for instance, the
Iberian Peninsula, Baltic States, and Nordic countries. It examines
Indian outward foreign direct investment trends in the UK before
and after Brexit, based on select case studies, to emphasize the
impact of Brexit, as well as to encourage trade and investment
among Asian and European countries before and during COVID-19, to
highlight the influence of the pandemic on the target country's
economy. The authors use a variety of analytical methods in the
book, such as numerical presentations, econometric analysis,
descriptive statistical analysis, an examination of time-series
dynamics, the modelling of functions, and semi-structured
interviews with company executives. The regional perspectives bring
new and useful insights to the topic, and the case study approach
allows for a wider exploration of the research questions as well as
their theoretical evolution. The book provides a "big picture" for
economists, researchers, business analysts, and PhD students of
economics, international trade, and business.
This book analyses the most recent trends in Foreign Direct
Investment from the major Asian economies to the EU, focusing on
China and Japan's FDIs in the EU, and Poland in particular. The
authors assert that, from a European perspective, there is a strong
need for further Asian FDIs into EU nations, which will establish
mutual benefits. This is the first book to explore the outflow of
FDI from Asian nations to other countries, especially to EU member
states, whereas the extant literature focuses on the inflow of FDI
to Asian nations. The authors analyse a multidimensional range of
issues, covering macroeconomics, finance, technology, and examine
the governments, local authorities, and institutions that support
such investments. FDI has an instrumental role in the development
of host countries. Large-scale capital flow becomes a vehicle for
providing foreign technology, knowledge, skills, and other inputs
for the integration with international marketing, production, and
distribution networks and for improving the economic
competitiveness of firms and economic performance of the host
country. The analysis in the book is presented using statistical
and econometrical approaches, emphasising a profound level of
investigation, which will be particularly useful for graduate and
PhD students of International Economics, Business and Trade.

The smart city concept, together with the growing importance of the
UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, has a significant impact on
city management and governance. This book examines real cases of
smart city management across Asia and Europe. It covers regions
such as Iceland, Estonia, Poland, Germany, India, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Singapore, and Vietnam to systemize the knowledge in the
field. It evaluates smart cities’ efficiency and analyzes and
assesses the standards, norms and best practices involved in the
management of smart cities. The book answers questions such as what
it is that makes smart cities stand out, why some countries in
Europe and Asia have more smart cities than others, whether smart
cities support the economy and GDP growth of the country, and what
the main determinants of forming smart cities in Asia and Europe
are. It also evaluates whether smart cities secure higher standards
of living for their citizens as compared to regular cities. Many
theoretical concepts and theories are developed and then verified
from the perspective of Western economies. Central Eastern European
and Asian countries are frequently overlooked, thus, examining the
smart city idea from the viewpoint of non-Western economies offers
a fresh insight into the concept and its adaptation and evolution.
The range of issues analyzed in the book are multilayered and
approached from a wide array of perspectives, from macroeconomics
to management, finance and technology, and public policy. Thus, the
book is addressed to researchers, students, and academics who
specialize in sustainable and regional development, economic
geography, and management. It will also be of interest to urban
planners, environmental scientists, and policymakers.
This book analyses the current debate around Central Bank Digital
Currencies (CBDC) and the future of New Global Financial System. It
offers deep insight into the global monetary policy in the context
of digital and cryptocurrencies and examines both the opportunities
and challenges to come. The book draws a clear distinction between
digital and cryptocurrencies and answers several research
questions, such as what the consequences of forming Central Bank
Digital Currencies and their impact on the financial markets, in
both advanced and developing economies, might be. Another question
refers to whether the role of monetary policy easing has led to the
rise of the virtual currency market, while still others relate to
the impact of the pandemic on international settlements. The book
also discusses the issue of investment in cryptocurrencies, and the
related risks, whether or not this is a profitable investment
vehicle, and how the digital banking system evaluates such
investments. Further, the book also highlights the post-pandemic
challenges for central banks, such as future monetary policy. It
includes a complex review of the literature and presents elaborate
econometric models of digital currencies and cryptocurrencies. The
book has a wide geographic focus, examining these aspects from the
perspective of several countries including China, India and the US.
The primary audience for the book is researchers, scholars and
students of international finance and economics but it will also
appeal to practitioners concerned with the digitalisation of
financial systems, policymakers and regulatory agencies. Note:
