Download or read book Globalisation FDI Regional Integration and Sustainable Development written by Anthony Bende-Nabende and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Anthony Bende-Nabende focuses on the ongoing globalization process, which has sparked an unprecedented world-wide debate. He provides a one-stop centre for a balanced coverage of the theoretical, empirical and policy issues linking globalization with foreign direct investment, regional economic integration, and economic growth and sustainable development. This stimulating book comprehensively explores the theoretical and empirical literature inter-linking the aforementioned factors from the anti-globalization activists’ viewpoint, and from the pro-globalization proponents’ perspective. It proposes policies that individual countries should pursue, based on the recognition that globalization generates both positive and negative effects. These comprise policies required to maximise the economic benefits globalization may generate, and those that aim to eliminate or at least minimize the negative development-oriented effects globalization may engender and, hence, to propel sustainable development. The book will be an essential guide for students, academics and those involved in international economics, environmental studies, international relations, and growth and development studies.

This book was released on 2009-07-17 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

This book allows the reader to better understand the relevant international policies of the Southeast Asian economies, and to appreciate the potential lessons for other developing regions. It also focuses on the regionalism trend with an explicit application to ASEAN, as well as the implications of regionalism in the developed countries.The goal of this book is to survey the economics and political economy of regionalism in the ASEAN context from a variety of perspectives and using various techniques, from standard economic analysis of preferential trading arrangements to the political economy analysis of institutions. Its approach is comprehensive in that it includes ASEAN economic integration in the areas of trade, foreign direct investment, and finance. Presentation of the material is designed to be accessible to non-technical audiences without sacrificing the rigor expected by economists and other experts.

Download or read book Cultural Differences and Economic Globalization written by Roger White and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Economic globalization is the process of increased integration among nations, characterized and fostered by three elements of international trade- goods and services, international capital flows, and international migration. In recent decades, international economic integration has increased both in depth (more pronounced bilateral connections) and in breadth (connections have become more commonplace), thus, the global economy has become increasingly integrated. Societies receive tremendous net benefits from economic globalization, however, accessing these benefits may be limited by cross-societal cultural differences. This book examines cultural differences as a potential impediment to economic integration. Relying on rigorous statistical and econometric techniques, the analyses indicate that higher transaction costs, due to greater cultural distance, inhibit both the volume of trade flows and the successful completion of trade deals. Cultural distance appears to reduce foreign direct investment, as well as divert investment to less culturally-distant destinations. This book finds a negative relationship between migration flows and cultural distance. It considers the common criticism that repeated and intensified integration diminishes cultural differences, resulting in cultural homogeneity. This book offers the first comprehensive examination of the relationships between cross-societal cultural differences and economic globalization. It will be of great interest to scholars and students who study globalization, international economics, and cultural studies.
Download or read book On The Role Of Fdi Economic Change Through written by Henrique Estides Delgado and published by . This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), that was mainly flowing to developing countries before the Second World War, became increasingly concentrated among developed economies since the war's aftermath. A similar increase in the concentration of other capital flows and trade followed suit during many decades in which the liberal post-war international order was far from being global. By late 20th century, increased international willingness to expand global markets was matched by changes in the economic policy of developing countries, originating a process that started to reshape economic geography and reorient FDI flows and other economic flows. Eventually, in the wake of the 2008 global financial crisis, developing countries again received the bulk of global FDI flows. The author argues that the primary reason for the new distribution of FDI is how institutional change at the global level interacted with institutional change within countries. As such, this interaction will also define the reorientation's endurance. To sustain the point, the book takes the cases of China and Brazil, demonstrating that the change in the incentive structure – provided by the international environment around the end of the Cold War and the creation of the World Trade Organization (WTO) – was accompanied by major domestic institutional transformations, along with the pursuit of greater integration with the global economy. The FDI, which was always present in Brazil, gained a new relevance, while in China it emerged during the reform era in a way that was responsible for a large part of the unprecedented growth the country experienced. By emphasizing that well defined policies are critically important to harness the FDI to further induce higher goals of development at large, this book establishes the basis on which to evaluate this phenomenon.

Book excerpt: This book explores a central issue of the world economy today: the role of regional integration for economic development and global governance. The importance of this issue comes from the fact that the globalisation process that we have been experiencing in recent decades is also a process of open regionalism. [¿] To what extent does this process contribute to development? The reader will find many interesting answers to this question in the book, [which] is an outstanding contribution to this debate. I welcome its publication and look forward to its influence on global debates on the relations between regional integration, development and global governance.' - From the foreword by José Antonio Ocampo, Columbia University, US The contributors expertly provide a comparative perspective on regional integration in different regions of the world while at the same time analysing the various facets of integration, relating to trade, FDI, finance and monetary policies.
