Inward Foreign Direct Investment

Many emerging economies seek multiple and diversified means of economic development, including openness to inward foreign direct investment. However, some scholars and protectionists claim this hosting of economic activity on the part of multinational corporations (MNCs) might in fact be detrimental to economic development. This paper seeks to address these concerns by using panel data from Argentina, Brazil, Colombia and South Africa to investigate a mediational relationship among inward foreign direct investment, skilled labor supply and entrepreneurial activity in the emerging economy context. Our results provide empirical evidence of later stage entrepreneurial activity as a spillover effect of inward foreign direct investment and that this indirect effect is fully mediated by the pool of factory workers.

Abstract:The tension between democratic institutions and the project to integrate international markets for trade and investment has been an enduring feature of the contemporary era of globalization. This article analyzes how officials in the executive branch navigated this tension in the making of inward foreign direct investment policy during the 1970s. Based on recently declassified archival sources, it traces how top officials in the Ford administration decided to establish a new interagency committee in order to appear responsive to congressional pressure and still leave its “open door” investment policy intact. Yet this measure only marked the first step in resolving their political dilemma. Lower-level functionaries then had to manage the problem of how to give the new committee the appearance of strength while also maximizing its discretion to be weak. Overall, this article contributes the first comprehensive account of both phases of the policy-making process using new archival evidence.

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.
