Foreign direct investment (FDI) is no longer an activity exclusively undertaken by firms from developed countries. The growth of multinational enterprises from emerging markets has begun to
focus attention around the world on the role of these new players. Collected here are papers from the conference, Thinking Outward, which dealt with a range of issues related to the
key players in this process - firms, home countries and host countries and the book will have a foreword from Jeffrey Sachs. In the wake of the financial crisis, these issues remain
increasingly critical for developing countries—this book provides the latest scholarship on FDI’s from eminent contributors from around the world.
