Synopsis

Global Capitalism, FDI and Competitiveness comprises 15 of John Dunning's most widely acknowledged writings on the changing characteristics of the global economy over the past three decades. In particular, it examines how these events have shaped, and been shaped by, the growing internationalization of all forms of business activity.

The book is dived into five thematic sections, each of which illustrates a particular aspect of change and the author's analysis of it. The volume examines:

• the main features of the new global economy, its origin, opportunities and challenges
• the author's recent writings on the factors affecting the location of economic activity by international firms, and the implications for national and regional governments
• the changing nature and form of the contribution of FDI and cross-border strategic alliances to economic development and to the restructuring of national economies
• the relationship between FDI, the competitive advantages of international firms and the productivity and dynamic comparative advantage of the economies in which they operate.
• an examination of the changing role and power of national governments as they seek to evaluate and influence the extent of both inbound and outbound FDI.

This volume will be warmly welcomed by all scholars and researchers of international business and particularly those interested in globalization, regional economics and FDI.
