Book Synopsis The UN and Transnational Corporations by : Tagi Sagafi-nejad
Download or read book The UN and Transnational Corporations written by Tagi Sagafi-nejad and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are transnational corporations (TNCs) and foreign direct investment beneficial or harmful to societies around the world? Since the birth of the United Nations more than 60 years ago, these questions have been major issues of interest and involvement for UN institutions. What have been the key ideas generated by the UN about TNCs and their relations with nation-states? How have these ideas evolved and what has been their impact? This book examines the history of UN engagement with TNCs, including the creation of the UN Commission and Centre on Transnational Corporations in 1974, the failed efforts of these bodies to craft a code of conduct to temper the revealed abuses of TNCs, and, with the advent of globalization in the 1980s, the evolution of a more cooperative relationship between TNCs and developing countries, resulting in the 1999 Global Compact.

Book Synopsis Privatization and Foreign Investments in Nigeria by : Lawrence Okechukwu Azubuike
Download or read book Privatization and Foreign Investments in Nigeria written by Lawrence Okechukwu Azubuike and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria's political economy has straddled the ideological divide between socialism and capitalism. The country produces oil, and at some point in its existence, it embarked on robust state involvement in the economy. This was marked by the acquisition, or establishment, of numerous state enterprises. Over the years, the performance of these enterprises was found to be dismal, and as part of the overall reform of the economy, Nigeria has joined the global trend toward reduction in direct state ownership of enterprises. Indeed, it has embarked on massive divestment of state interests in once publicly owned firms. Besides the universal rationale of efficiency, one of the objectives of the privatization exercise in Nigeria is the attraction and retention of foreign investments. This work examines the direct and indirect linkage between the government's divestiture of its interests in firms, on the one hand, and foreign investments in the country, on the other hand. The book is divided into seven chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the political and economic history of Nigeria, to set the background and context that necessitated the introduction of the reform package of which privatization is just an aspect. Chapter 2 is a discussion of various natures of state involvement in an economy. This ranges from mere regulation to active participation. The chapter discusses the competing conceptual and ideological theories and tries to situate the Nigerian experience within the broader conceptual dichotomies of capitalism, socialism and the via media of mixed economy. Chapter 3 is an examination of the meaning and rationales for privatization of state owned enterprises generally and the Nigerian attempts in particular. Nigeria's privatization program is an ongoing exercise. Yet two distinct attempts are identifiable: one which started in 1988 and the reinvigoration of the exercise, albeit with new constitutive frameworks, in 1999. Thus, Chapters 4 and 5 review the legal and institutional frameworks for these two exercises. Chapter 6 deals with foreign investments in Nigeria. The discussion encapsulates the pros and cons of foreign investments, especially in Nigeria. Chapter 7 explores the direct and indirect linkages between the privatization program in Nigeria and foreign investments in the country. This is particularly apposite because one of the touted objectives of the privatization exercise is the attraction of foreign investments. A conclusion follows. The work finds that although foreign investments appear to have been indirectly boosted by the privatization exercise, foreign investors initially did not show interest in direct acquisition of the shares and other interests being relinquished by the government, but that that attitude has been changing gradually.
Book Synopsis Regionalism among Developing Countries by : S. Page
Download or read book Regionalism among Developing Countries written by S. Page and published by Springer. This book was released on 1999-11-09 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last decade, regionalism appears to have emerged as a major new force in the world. This book puts it in its historical context. Regions have emerged before; few are old because they either evolve into federal systems or break up. The current regions imply more integration than a simple view that they are about liberalising trade.
Book Synopsis Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers by : Nagesh Kumar
Download or read book Globalization, Foreign Direct Investment and Technology Transfers written by Nagesh Kumar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-08-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Nagesh Kumar and expert contributors examine and explain the emerging patterns in international technology transfers and foreign direct investment flows (FDIs) over the past two decades. They analyse the trends in internationalization of corporate activity in individual source countries, discussing outflows from both major and emerging source countries. This departs from the existing treatments of FDI as homogenous resource and allows for a more detailed prediction of future outflow patterns. Throughout, the research focuses upon the implications of new trends for developing countries. Kumar concludes by outlining the policy implications for the governments of such countries seeking to mobilize technology and FDI for their industrialization and further integration into the international community. Controversially, he cautions against excessive optimism about the potential of FDI inflows as an agent of development. This book draws together much data and information which is not readily available and provides reflections upon international business negotiations from a developing country's perspective.
Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment in Transitional Economies by : Michael Du Pont
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in Transitional Economies written by Michael Du Pont and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-08-17 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign Direct Investment in Transitional Economies presents a detailed investigation into the recent changes in the patterns and determinants in inflows of FDI to transitional economies. The author re-evaluates conventional theories of FDI, and analyses the many changes taking place in the nature of international business, both in terms of the drives of the trans-border transactions, and the strategic orientation of the firms that engage in those transactions. This comparative investigation is based on original research detailing the experiences of FDI in the economies of China and Poland through case studies of over 200 multinationals, and takes into account the dynamic forces of globalization and their effects on FDI.

Book Synopsis Globalisation and Africa in the Twenty-First Century by : Singumbe Muyeba
Download or read book Globalisation and Africa in the Twenty-First Century written by Singumbe Muyeba and published by Author House. This book was released on 2008-02-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Globalisation and Africa in the Twenty First Century: A Zambian Perspective is a journey through space and times from Zambia, to Sub Saharan Africa, to the World and Back. It brings out from the author’s experiences growing up in Sub Saharan Africa during the 1990s, the ills in Zambian culture that manifested as a result of the effects of Structural Adjustment Programmes and how Zambia, once a rich and promising country became one of the poorest Nations in the world’s poorest region. As for Sub Saharan Africa’s survival in the twenty first century, Muyeba powerfully argues that without a transformation in the culture of its people, without surplus productivity and without international cooperation, the chances for survival in the twenty first century will continue to diminish even as they are already low.
