Foreign Direct Investment in Developing Countries: have we reached a policy ‘tipping point’?

Abstract

In the 1990s, around the world, government policies on fdi were unequivocally fdi -friendly. Numerous policy changes were enacted to make the investment climate more favourable to fdi. However, over the past few years a range of countries has enacted policy measures less favourable to fdi. Does this represent an overall shift in fdi policy thinking? And, if so, what are the current drivers of such a change? This paper discusses trends in contemporary fdi policy and the role played by prevailing narratives, actors and the changing context in shaping policy.
