Foreign Direct Investment, China and the World Economy
China has become such an important element of the global economy that its influence cannot be ignored in almost any field of endeavour.

This book is an in depth study of the international business relationships of China covering both inward and outward foreign direct investment, its impact and related theoretical and policy issues. This volume of highly renowned author Peter Buckley's collected papers from 2005-8 continues his interest in the theory of international business (Section I) and policies towards foreign direct investment (FDI) (Section IV) but has a major concentration on China, both as regards outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) from China (Section II) and FDI in China (Section III).

China's New Role in the World Economy
The remarkable rise of China over the past three decades has been unprecedented in both its scale and speed.

The second concerns trying to guess what the e...
