Globalization has reduced the importance of distance between countries. Yet, within countries, geography matters now more than ever. Economic activities, including production and employment, occur unevenly across space within countries, and globalization consequently impacts various regions differently. Some areas benefit from international economic integration while others lose, and as a result, economic geography shapes citizens’ experience of globalization. Economic geography also influences governments’ responses to globalization and economic shocks. Economic geography consequently merits the attention of political scientists. By examining economic geography, researchers will find new traction on long-standing theoretical debates and valuable insights on recent developments, including the growing backlash against globalization. The challenges of studying economic geography include causal complexity and measurement issues.

The XXI century has reached the end of its first 20 years. Along the years, it has posed complex challenges to economists and economic geographers. For example, the results of elections and consultations in different countries have shown a strong sympathy with political positions that question the benefits of free international flows of goods, services, labour and capital. By the same token, some academics argue that despite international economics theory clearly acknowledges that free trade causes winners and losers, the expected higher gains have not been effectively used to compensate the losers. This article explores the main challenges of international economic integration in sub-national territories in Switzerland and Mexico to better understand the importance of delivering relevant and competent public policies based on territorial specificity.

Trade and foreign direct investments (FDI) represent the real and the capital side of international economic integration. While Network Analysis (NA) on world trade network (WTN) is wide, few analyses describe world investment networks (WIN), since FDI data suitable for comparison are very scarce and very complex to collect. In this paper, we exploit FDI Bilateral Statistics by UNCTAD (2014), to compare WTN and WIN in the first decade of the new millennium, before and after 2008 crisis. Results show that all countries are integrated since there are few isolated economies, and unique largest components emerge confirming the complexity of global value chain. 2008 economic crisis affected WTN, but not WIN. Geography, rather than economic similarity, is crucial in defining trading connections and cohesive subgroups. WIN and WTN links are mutual in all networks, confirming that once a link is established, it is easier to maintain all commercial relations. WIN and WTN key players are USA, Germany and China for Exports, while USA and Germany for FDI. There is a positive association between couplets of WTN and WIN links, conjecturing that FDI and Exports networks could be complements, rather than substitute.

International economic integration plays a significant role in the growth and development of any country, whether rich or poor. And foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the major components in the process of achieving international economic integration in any economy. As is known, FDI serves as a link between investment and savings. This is true even in the case of India which is facing the deficit of savings and which can be addressed with the help of FDI. It (i.e., FDI) also helps in raising the growth and development of the economy. India is one of the leading markets at the global level. It has emerged as one of the attractive destinations in the world with a significant change in the inflow of FDI. The journey of FDI is very interesting with the introduction of liberalized policy through new economic policy 1991 and also other policy reforms of Government of India. It has witnessed a drastic change in the inflow and direction of foreign investment in Indian economy. In this backdrop, an attempt is made in this paper to examine country-wise, sector-wise and region-wise FDI inflows in Indian economy during last 19 years, 2000-01 to 2018-19. KEY WORDS: Economic Integration, Foreign Direct Investment, Developing Nations, Savings, Policy Reforms
