Carol Lancaster
Foreign Aid: Diplomacy, Development, Domestic Policies

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: A twentieth-century innovation, foreign aid has become a familiar and even expected element in international relations. But scholars and government officials continue to debate why countries provide it: some claim that it is primarily a tool of diplomacy, some argue that it is largely intended to support development in poor countries, and still others point out its myriad newer uses. Carol Lancaster effectively puts this dispute to rest here by providing the most comprehensive answer yet to the question of why governments give foreign aid. She argues that because of domestic politics in aid-giving countries, it has always beenand will continue to beused to achieve a mixture of different goals. Drawing on her expertise in both comparative politics and international relations and on her experience as a former public official, Lancaster provides five in-depth case studiesthe United States, Japan, France, Germany, and Denmarkthat demonstrate how [detailed...]

Foreign Aid: New Perspectives (Recent Economic Thought Series, 68)

y.
Publisher:
Description: Foreign aid has been an area of active scholarly investigation since the end of the Second World War, but particularly since the early 1950s when a large number of the erstwhile colonies became independent. Few areas of public policy involving the developed and developing countries have aroused more passion and ideological debate than foreign aid. In spite of the massive amount of research in the field, there is still not enough work in two areas: the first involves the mechanisms through which aid influences the economies of the donor and the recipient countries, and the second, country-specific assessments of the effectiveness of foreign aid. Foreign Aid: New Perspectives is aimed at making a contribution in these two areas. The contents of this volume are divided into four parts. Part I deals with some theoretical aspects of foreign aid, while the second part analyzes some general policy aspects. Part III turns to the donor experience and includes one paper on the Danish [detailed...]

Foreign Birds For Beginners

Publisher:
Description: FOREIGN BIRDS FOR BEGINNERS - By D. H. S. RISDON - PREFACE - WHEN writing a book of this kind, it must be realised that the bulk of its readers will be those who wish to learn sornethiilg about the art of keeping foreign birds. The more experienced aviculturist, if he reads it at all, would probably do so with a critical eye, in which case I hope he will be tolerant enough to realise that no two of us experience quite the same results with birds. This is not surprising when one considers the many and varied conditions under which they are kept in this cotintry. For the beginners sake, therefore, advice and descriptions have becn worded as simply as possible, so as not to confuse him with too inuch detail. For Illstailce, in the chapter on housing, a outhe of what is required in an aviary is thought preferable to detailed instructions on how to build it.. [detailed...]

John H. Mutti
Foreign Direct Investment and Tax Competition

y.
Publisher:
Description: The author first assesses the nature and extent of the international mobility of foreign direct investment (FDI), based on the operations of US multinational corporations abroad (production, employment, and capital stock), not simply on financial flows of foreign affiliates. He considers whether distinctions between horizontal and vertical integration can be applied to operations in developed versus developing countries and whether either form of integration is sensitive to tax and cost conditions, not only in the host country but also in the United States. Growing sensitivity of FDI to taxes is one reason for governments to be concerned about tax competition among jurisdictions to attract economic activity. Tax competition, however, also arises from an attempt to shift the tax base from one jurisdiction to another, with no real change in the location of real activity. Mutti`s second objective is to assess how tax competition is affecting the structure of national tax systems and [detailed...]

Foreign Direct Investment in Kazakhstan: Politico-Legal Aspects of Post-Communist Transition

Description: Book Description The collapse of the centrally planned systems of the former Soviet Union undoubtedly stands out as one of the most important global events of the 20th century. The transformation from a centralized economic system to a market system created major opportunities for Western corporations to enter markets that had formerly been closed to them. In this book, E.K.Dosmukhamedov employs a distinctive approach to the study of post-communist transition by analyzing Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from a political, legal and economic standpoint. Kazakhstan is used as a case study to illustrate the role of FDI in restructuring the economy of the former Soviet Union countries in the Post-Communist era. [detailed...]

Description: The International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) are two of the more significant international agencies whose objective is to promote foreign direct investment in less developed countries (LDCs). This is the first detailed treatment of their establishment, the history of their operations, and an evaluation of these operations. Drawing on cases, Baker shows how the functions of these two agencies have encouraged a significant amount of foreign investment in LDCs and how the operations of these two agencies continue to grow in importance. Scholars, professionals, and policy makers will find this to be the most comprehensive description available of these important agencies. [detailed...]

Foreign Direct Investment in Spain and Hungary

2008 y.
Publisher:
Description: The inflow of foreign direct investment to Spain and Hungary following economic liberalisation has been remarkable. This book analyses the FDI-driven modernisation of Hungary and Spain in the nineties. Similarities and differences in the motivations of foreign investors are analyzed and performance and efficiency indicators of foreign investment enterprises as well as their effects on the economy are discussed in detail. The book further analyzes change in the foreign trade structure and the extent to which FDI has induced this change. Revealed comparative advantage as well as horizontal and vertical intra-industry trade indices are calculated for both countries and then grouped according to the technology intensity of the manufacturing sector. The effect of FDI on foreign trade is found to be much stronger in the case of Hungary than in Spain, resulting in a strong shift towards high-tech trade. Recent trends in the current decade are also briefly discussed. This book may be useful [detailed...]

Foreign Direct Investment in the United States

y.
Publisher:
Description: Hardbound. Foreign Direct Investment in the United States examines the factors that have motivated foreign firms to invest in the United States. Foreign direct investment (FDI) has changed from being a one-lane country road, handling a modest flow of financial traffic to a two-way superhighway carrying huge amounts of capital into, and out of, the country. There is an explaination regarding how this has all come about, through a multidimensional/multidisciplinary approach to the subject, applying both microeconomic and organizational theory. Cultural and political factors associated with FDI are considered whilst two full chapters are devoted to an analysis of the effectiveness of public policies (both federal and state) in attracting capital to the U.S. The book contains data that tracks FDI since 1950 by industry and by country of origin. Of special interest is the discussion of the relationship between the U.S. and Japan and how the chronic [detailed...]
