This comprehensive analysis deals with the range of issues raised
by the rise of transnational corporations from emerging markets.
This insightful book shows that foreign direct investment (FDI)
from emerging markets has grown from negligible amounts in the
early 1980s to $210 billion in 2007, with the stock of investment
now being well over $1 trillion. This reflects the rise of firms
from these economies to become important players in the world FDI
market. The contributors to this book comprehensively analyze the
rise of emerging market TNCs, the salient features of the
transnational activities of these firms, the relationship of
outward FDI and the competitiveness of the firms involved, their
impact on host and home countries and implications for the
international law and policy system.The subject of this study is
both topical and important and poses a number of challenges that
will require considerable policy attention in the future. It will
appeal to academics interested in FDI as well as emerging markets.
Karl P. Sauvant has gathered together a group of leading academics
that makes this an informative and valuable read for anyone
interested in the subject, including academics, students at all
levels and private sector entities, as well as government officials
dealing with outward FDI.
