Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers: Impacts on and Prospects for Developing Countries: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers: Impacts on and Prospects for Developing Countries" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

In this book, Nagesh Kumar and expert contributors examine and explain the emerging patterns in international technology transfers and foreign direct investment flows (FDIs) over the past two decades. They analyse the trends in internationalization of corporate activity in individual source countries, discussing outflows from both major and emerging source countries. This departs from the existing treatments of FDI as homogenous resource and allows for a more detailed prediction of future outflow patterns. Throughout, the research focuses upon the implications of new trends for developing countries. Kumar concludes by outlining the policy implications for the governments of such countries seeking to mobilize technology and FDI for their industrialization and further integration into the international community. Controversially, he cautions against excessive optimism about the potential of FDI inflows as an agent of development.This book draws together much data and information which is not readily available and provides reflections upon international business negotiations from a developing countrys perspective.

GLOBALIZATION, FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS

The impact of globalization during the past decade has been uneven across regions, countries and sectors. While many countries have become more integrated into the world economy, increasing their cross-border transactions, others have been left behind. Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and technology transfers are increasingly concentrated in a handful of countries, while the least developed countries continue to be marginalized, despite the liberalization of their investment regimes. Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers discusses emerging patterns and directions of FDI and technology transfers and the growth prospects for developing countries in this context of globalization.

In this study, leading scholars on the subject examine and explain the emerging patterns in international technology transfers and FDI flows over the past two decades. They analyse the trends in internationalization of corporate activity in major conventional and emerging source countries of FDI to comment upon the prospects for outflows. This departs from the existing treatments of FDI as a homogeneous resource and allows for a more detailed prediction of future outflow patterns. Throughout, the research focuses upon the implications of new trends for developing countries. Kumar concludes by outlining the policy implications for the governments of such countries seeking to mobilize technology and FDI for their industrialization and further integration into the international community. Controversially, he cautions against excessive optimism about the potential of FDI inflows as an agent of development.

Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers draws together much data and information which is not readily available and provides reflections upon international business negotiations from a developing countrys perspective.

Nagesh Kumar is currently Senior Fellow at the Research and Information System for Developing Countries, New Delhi, India. From 1993 to 1998, Dr Kumar served on the faculty of the United Nations University Institute for New Technologies, Maastricht, the Netherlands and directed its research on foreign direct investment and technology transfers.

UNU/INTECH STUDIES IN NEW TECHNOLOGY AND DEVELOPMENT

Series editors: Charles Cooper and Swasti Mitter

The books in this series reflect the research initiatives at the United Nations University Institute for New Technologies (UNU/INTECH) based in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The institute is primarily a research centre within the UN system and evaluates the social, political and economic environment in which new technologies are adopted and adapted in the developing world. The books in the series explore the role that technology policies can play in bridging the economic gap between nations, as well as between groups within nations. The authors and contributors are leading scholars in the field of technology and development; their work focuses on:

the social and economic implications of new technologies;
processes of diffusion of such technologies to the developing world;
the impact of such technologies on income, employment and environment;
the political dynamics of technological transfer.

The series is a pioneering attempt at placing technology policies at the heart of national and international strategies for development. This is likely to prove crucial in the globalized market, for the competitiveness and sustainable growth of poorer nations.
