In this study, based on an analysis of foreign experience, the authors systematized the main tools for assessing the social impact of investments, including foreign direct investment (FDI), on the development of the economy and society. The authors made an attempt to generalize and explore the essence and content of each approach and recommend them for use in Kazakhstan’s practice. This is important not only for improving the investment policy in the field of attracting and regulating the activities of direct investors in Kazakhstan, but also for increasing their social responsibility to the country’s society.

Despite the vast and growing literature on the economic impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), its social significance is somewhat a neglected issue. Focusing on Russia, this chapter examines the effect of FDI and (formal) institutions (proxied, alternatively, by the [1] accumulated stock of small and medium sized firms or SMEs and [2] number of economic crimes per 100,000 population or corruption) on (informal) institutional change (proxied by the change in the number of violent and property crimes per 100,000 population). The empirical findings provide robust support for a significantly positive direct impact of SMEs, whilst observing a significantly negative effect of corruption and either significantly positive impact of FDI or insignificant effect of multinational firms in this context.

The question of Africa’s development has continued to occupy the front burner from the social and economic discussions by scholars of various divides. But Africa’s development through foreign direct investment has become a recent challenge to the African continent. African social critics and commentators as well as Western scholars have attributed the seeming slow pace of development in Africa to several factors discouraging foreign direct investment. Suggestions and literature on how to overcome these factors abound; all calling on African states to provide the enabling environment for foreign investors under this arrangement to help in solving Africa’s socio-economic problems. In this essay, we adopt the method of analysis and argue that rather than blame African states for the underperformance of foreign direct investment, policy makers should be more humanistic in entering into economic agreement with the advanced countries of the world and ensure that such agreements accommodate certain positive values of the host continent. It therefore concludes that with interculturalism as the foundation of any economic solution to Africa’s development problem, whether external or homegrown, Africans would appreciate and participate more in development activities that concern them.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the main determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the case of the Arab Maghreb countries. Design/methodology/approach We employ a dynamic panel analysis using the General Method of Moments for a sample composed of 105 countries over the period 1985–2018. Findings We show that FDI stability, market size, higher education enrolment, quality of institutions, distance, sharing of common border, and bilateral investment and integration agreements are the main determinants of FDI location. These determinants are neither general. The potential for attracting FDI from AMU countries is poorly exploited. FDI to the AMU is lower than estimated stock. The observed FDI to potential FDI ratio does not exceed 87%. France and Spain are the main investors in the AMU region thanks to historical and cultural links. The FDI from the United States, Canada, Germany, Belgium, and Japan are below what is expected. Originality/value The contribution of this paper is observed on the examining oh the determinants of the FDI in the Arab Maghreb countries. Our study demonstrate that the political stability can decrease investment risk in these countries. The administrations correspondingly require expanding their rules and strategies with union demonstrations which were at the beginning of the departure and closing of several foreign companies.
