| Abstract

This book fills an important gap in the literature on foreign direct investment and economic development. Based on an excellent review of existing theories, comparative case studies from Africa, Asia and Latin America explore diverse approaches that developing countries can use to benefit from the presence of foreign firms to improve technological capabilities and economic performance.
