Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People passionately disagree about the nature of the globalization process. The failure of both the 1999 and 2003 World Trade Organization's (WTO) ministerial conferences in Seattle and Cancun, respectively, have highlighted the tensions among official, international organizations like the WTO, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, nongovernmental and private sector organizations, and some developing country governments. These tensions are commonly attributed to longstanding disagreements over such issues as labor rights, environmental standards, and tariff-cutting rules. In addition, developing countries are increasingly resentful of the burdens of adjustment placed on them that they argue are not matched by commensurate commitments from developed countries. Challenges to Globalization evaluates the arguments of pro-globalists and anti-globalists regarding issues such as globalization's relationship to democracy, its impact on the environment and on labor markets including the brain drain, sweat shop labor, wage levels, and changes in production processes, and the associated expansion of trade and its effects on prices. Baldwin, Winters, and the contributors to this volume look at multinational firms, foreign investment, and mergers and acquisitions and present surprising findings that often run counter to the claim that multinational firms primarily seek countries with low wage labor. The book closes with papers on financial opening and on the relationship between international economic policies and national economic growth rates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hunya (research economist at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies) explores whether foreign direct investment can contribute to the competitiveness of industries in central Europe and to narrowing the gap between these transition economies and countries within the European Union. Examining empirical data from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and Slovenia, he argues that foreign investment enterprises have higher allocative efficiency, promote macro- and microeconomic restructuring, and foster the restructuring of the manufacturing sector in accordance with the host countries' comparative advantages. Some negative factors are explored, but Hunya argues that, on the whole, foreign direct investment leads to greater competitiveness. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

This book was released on 2005-05-19 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terms of foreign direct investment (FDI) is frequently considered as concurrently being one of the consequences and drivers of globalisation which result from the existence and actions of multinational corporations (MNCs). In the process of opening up economies toparticipate in some of the positive impacts of globalisation, most of the countries position themselves in respect of attracting foreign direct investment. Besides, the power to attract investment from abroad and its positive impact in improving economies is valued as an important ingredient of the path to successful economic growth and development. The major reason supporting the importance of FDI as a factor in economic growth, particularly in developing countries, is that it can bring to the host economy a number of benefits such as employment generation, business culture, technology transfer, and capital formation.
